h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

God : Hello. Did you call me?

Me: Called you? No.. Who is this?

God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something..

God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still cant figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU
to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable
with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?

God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not
happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty..

God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?

God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why cant we be free from problems?

God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..

God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside.
Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight.
Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go.
Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?

God : when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cant get the answer.

God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of
creation.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?

God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.

God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

ED

hi again
not made your list of friends yet then??
xxxxxxxxxxxxsee ya soon xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am fine Contemplating being the real tog Mrs tog keeps telling me to be myself and not to be someone I am not really happy with

I suppose she wants her sensible hubby back that she married 22 years ago and not this raging paranoid nutter she now lives with! My counsellor reckons I have the inner strength to beat it all, I just need to teach myself to calm down

Oh bugger have I got the wrong link again

Hi-ya

It's funny how we got to meet..
Not in a party.
Not on the street.
Not in a store.
And you sure don't live next door!

It's funny how we know each other...
Not introduced by my mother
and not introduced by my brother.

And although,
I've never seen you
face to face,
I feel this strong bond,
through cyber space!

EVEN with a face, not yet in place!
Who'd ever thought?

If I talk about *YOU*
my friend on the net,
to a person who's not online yet,
they can't understand,
how we met.

They have no clue!
How I can meet someone LIKE YOU!

So I try to explain,
that I'm not insane!
That I REALLY have a friend
in this place called "cyberspace,"
who loves me for "ME!"

And has NO doubt
what friendship's about!
A friend who knows
it's not in the looks,
or about our checkbooks.

And you're not a friend
that I set out to choose,
but a friend I gained outta the blue!

Who understands this friendship anew!
You my friend, type with your heart.
And you are truly "state of the art!"
You have feelings, that are REAL!
You're a friend I treasure a great deal!

And It's funny to know,
how friends may come,
and friends may go.

But YOU my friend,
I will always remember
for you are sealed in my heart forever!!
