Hey guys, just want to share with you a story I read.
Sell fish or selfish??
One fine day, God wanted to grant a wish to a fish monger, who was a hard working . He was also generous and kind to the people around him.
God said:" My son, you have been hard working and caring to your neighbour. So, i have decided to grant you a wish. But, whatever you wish, your neighbour will have DOUBLE. I will give you one day to decide what you want to wish for."
After God left, the fish monger sat down and started to think.
"If I want a car, my neighbour will have two. mmmm..... If I want a ton of rice , my neighbour will have 2 tons of rice ."
The more he thought, the more selfish he became. Soon he thought of a very CUNNIG wish.
The next day, God appeared to the fish monger.
God said:" My son, have you decided what to wish for??"
The fish monger replied:" Yes. Since you say that whatever wish I make, my neighbour will have double, then I wish , . . . . .that You will remove one of my eye !!!"
God look at him, disappointed and said:"Very well, your wish will be granted."
At an blink of an eye, GOD removed the fish monger's left eye and his neighbour, BLIND ( both sides).
The moral of the story is one should not be selfish. Selfish only will lead to a lose-lose situation.
Philippians 2.3,4
"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,but with humility of mind let each of you regard one anotheras more important than himself;Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also forthe interests of others."
what we could have been, 5:09 AM.
