Differences in the perspectives of man and God.

I can’t think of anything to write recently. I share a story I heard before. I don’t know if anyone in medium has shared this story. If it constitutes an infringement, please contact me to delete it.

One day, God created three people. He asked the first person, “When you come to the world, how are you going to spend your life?” The first person thought about it and replied, “I want to make full use of my life to create.”

God asked the second man again: “When you come to the world, how are you going to spend your life?” The second man thought for a while and replied, “I want to make full use of my life to enjoy it.”

God asked the third man again: “When you come to the world, how are you going to spend your life?” The third man thought about it and replied, “I want to create life and enjoy life.”

God gave 50 points to the first person, 50 points to the second person, and 100 points to the third person, he thinks the third person is the most perfect person, he even decided to produce more “third person”.

The first person came to the world, showing an unusual sense of dedication and salvation. He has made many contributions to many people. He has never asked for anything from those he has helped. He fights for the truth, and has no complaints when he is repeatedly misunderstood. Full, he became a highly respected person, his good deeds were widely praised, and his name was silently admired by people. When he left the world, everyone was reluctant to leave, and people came from all directions to see him off. Many years have passed, and people have deeply missed him.

The second person came to the world, showing an unusual desire for possessiveness and destructiveness. In order to achieve his goals, he will do whatever it takes and even do all kinds of evil. Slowly, he has countless wealth, living a luxurious life, spending a lot of money, wives and concubines in groups. Later, he got the punishment he deserved for doing too much evil. When the sword of justice expelled him from the world, he was greeted with contempt and scolding. Years later, he is still deeply hated by people.

The third person came into the world without any unusual behavior. He built his own family and lived a busy and fulfilling life. Years after his death, no one remembers his existence.

Humans scored 100 points for the first person, 0 points for the second person, and 50 points for the third person. This score is their final score.

Simply speaking, it seems that people can only be divided into these three kinds of people. There is a huge difference between God’s rating and human’s rating. Humans say, “God who made mistakes!” But humans can’t hear God’s answer. The best explanation is that people want to live for themselves, not for God.
