Is Human Life A Gift From God? Or Curse?

One day God created a donkey and said to it...

You are a donkey . You have to work from morning till evening. You will be used to carry the package. You must eat grass. You don't have that much knowledge. You will live for 50 years, eventually...!

On hearing this the donkey said to God

I'm a donkey. However, I was unable to carry the package for 50 years. It will last a very long time. I've had enough of 20 years!

God granted the donkey's wish...!

God next created a dog and said to it...

You are the guardian of man's house. You will be his dear friend. The man will give you after eating. You will live for 30 years, eventually...!

The dog told God after hearing this:

God! 30 years is a long time. I've had enough of 15 years.

God granted the dog's wish...!

Next God created the monkey and told him...

You are a monkey. You have to jump from tree to tree. You entertain others by performing tricks.

You will live for 20 years eventually...!

To God, the monkey responded as follows:

Jumping from tree to tree and performing stunts is a challenging way to survive for 20 years. It's too long—20 years. That's enough, 10 years!

God also granted the monkey's wish...!

Finally he created man and told him...!

You are a man. You are the only one in the world who has the wisdom and ability to think and make decisions for himself. You will rule other animals with your knowledge. The world is in your hands. You will live for 20 years, eventually...!

On hearing this the man said to God

20 years is too short for me...!

Give me the 30 years the donkey said he didn't want,

Give me the 15 years the dog said he didn't want and

Give me the 10 years the monkey said he didn't want

So give me a total of 75 years!

God smiled and said to man:

See! You began to think for yourself, as I mentioned. Okay, I'll grant your wish as well.

From that day on man spends his first 20 years happily as a man...!

After being wed, for 30 years like a donkey while carrying all the responsibilities and working nonstop...

Next after the kids grow up

He's been the household dog for 15 years and guards everyone.

After getting old and retiring, for 10 years he switches between his house and his children's house like a monkey bouncing from tree to tree.

He performs tricks for his grandchildren to keep them entertained. Then after he dies...!

In between these lifetimes, people meet many people. They love some of them. They create a family of their own and live for themselves and others. They share in each other's joys and sorrows and live in harmony.

Then they give their children affection and warmth. They does many good things for their children. After that, they live for their grandchildren. Even if they die in the end, they leave good memories for their loved ones.

Human life begins with crying and ends with crying.

It begins with his crying at birth and the joy of others, then ends with others crying at the memory of him when he dies.......
