One day a man saw God approaching with a suitcase and knew he was dead. God said, “It’s time to go,” and the man asked in surprise, “Already? I had so much to do before … ». God answered, “I’m sorry, but the time has come for you to leave. »
“What’s in the suitcase? “Asked the man, and God answered:
“Things that belong to you. »
“So my belongings? My money ? »
“These things never belonged to you … they belonged to the world”.
“Are these maybe my memories? »
“These are not yours, they have always belonged to the time”.
“Are these my talents? »
“They did not belong to you, but to the circumstances.”
“So are it my friends? »
“They never belonged to you, they belonged to the way. »
“Is it my wife and children? »
“They never belonged to you, they belonged to the heart. »
“Is it my body? »
“It never belonged t you, it was made out of dust.”
“So it’s my soul? »
“I’m sorry, your soul is mine. »
The man was angry and tore open the suitcase.
He saw that it was empty.
With tears in his eyes, he said, “So I have never owned anything? »
“Every moment you’ve lived has been yours. Your existence was a sequence of moments that belonged to you. »
Therefore, everyone should enjoy these moments as long as he can. Nothing of what belongs to us offers us to do just that. »
Material things and everything we possess do not go with us into the beyond. That’s why we should be happy NOW, right NOW! ..
