A man died. When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.
God said, “Alright son. It’s time to go.”
Surprised the man responded, “Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans...”
“I'm sorry but its time to go,” said God
“What do you have in that suitcase?” the man asked.
“God answered, “Your belongings.”
“My belongings? You mean my things, my clothes, my money?”
“God answered, “Those things were not yours. They belonged to the earth.”
“Is it my memories?” the man asked.
“God answered, “Those never belonged to you. They belonged to Time.”
“Is it my talents?”
God answered, “Those were never yours. They belonged to the circumstances.”
“Is it my friends and family?”
God answered, “I'm sorry they were never yours. They belonged to the path.”
“Is it my wife and son?”
God answered, “They were never yours. They belonged to your heart.”
“Is it my body?”
God answered, “That was never yours. It belonged to the dust.”
“Is it my soul?”
God answered, “No, that is mine.”
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty.
With a tear coming down his cheek the man said, “I never had anything???”
God answered, “That is correct. Nothing belonged to you. Life is just a moment. Only the moments you lived were yours. Nothing else.”
So, Live for Now. Live your life. Don't forget to be happy. That is the only thing that matters. Material things and everything else that we fight for stay here.
WE CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING.
