God's important instructions

Liu Guozong

I asked God earnestly: "Lord! In the world You created, what can I do for people?"

God said: "Please go listen to your friend's advice. He will give you guidance."

"Who is my friend?" I asked God, puzzled.

My Lord, with so many points, where should I start?

How can one be considered a winner?

Liu Guozong

Some say life is a TV series; as long as you live, this episode has no ending. Others say life is a game, and all human behavior is acting. However, this game has rules; those who don't understand the rules are usually losers.

So, does knowing the rules make one a winner? What are these rules then?

God, please tell me, what kind of person counts as a winner, what kind counts as a loser?

I very much approve** life is a TV serial drama; however, the protagonist of this drama is oneself. In this serial drama, from the moment a person is born, parents hold them and the performance begins. Some perform splendidly, with lively plot, eliciting applause, earning praise, giving inspiration. Some perform plain and uneventful, without ups and downs, making people bored, making people tired.

I cannot know others' plots; I am concerned only with my own.

Yes, does my plot earn applause? Or does it bore people?

The connection between nature and humanity……

Liu Guozong

Insects are a very small animal, yet they have a close relationship with humans. Especially in a rainy summer, why do humans miss insects so much?

Yes, because they respond to summer's call better than other animals. They give summer its nerves, they jump about in the flowers and grass, making the summer fields extraordinarily sensitive and full of vitality. Even the great writer Lu Xun was very fond of insects; in his later years he still recalled the various insects he had seen and played with in Bai Cao Yuan as a child. He wrote with infinite affection: '……There's no need to mention the cicadas chirping long in the leaves, the plump wasps resting on the rapeseed flowers……Just the short mud wall base around has endless fun, the bee flies sing here, the crickets play the zither here, overturning a broken brick, sometimes one may still encounter a centipede, also a banded shrimp, if you press your finger on its spine, it will spray a puff of smoke from its rear with a bang……'

Look at how much joy those tiny insects brought to Lu Xun's childhood.

As it turns out, everything in nature is closely related to us humans.

Foolish child

Liu Guozong

Barefoot, I walked back and forth in the spring fields, from sunrise to sunset. The wildflowers before me would bloom one moment and wither the next; the bees and butterflies would come and go. Flowers blooming and withering, coming and going, spring left no trace, arriving and departing silently like this.

I don't understand the meaning of flowers blooming and withering, bees flying and butterflies dancing.

The flowers said to me: "Leave your fragrance for the world!" The bees and butterflies said to me: "Leave your beauty and song for the world!"

I felt a bit lost and also a bit disappointed. My life has neither the fragrance of flowers, nor the beauty of butterflies, nor the song of bees; what can I leave for the world?

God saw my thoughts. He enlightened me, saying: "Then just leave love for the world."

"'Where is my love?' I did not understand the meaning of God's words."

"\"Foolish child, love is in your heart, love is in your hands, love is in your mouth. As long as you have a heart that loves the world, you can use your hands to do for the world what you are capable of, use your mouth to speak words beneficial to the world; if you cannot speak, then please offer a sincere smile. \" God said all this in one breath.

I earnestly contemplated God's words. As the sunset's afterglow spread over the fields, I said to the gradually receding sunset: 'Selfless giver, you forgot yourself, you forgot time, but you must not forget me; when you come again tomorrow, you will be new, and I will be new as well.'
