Some thoughts, mainly random rantings. I was 23 when I started this blog, and as time goes on some thoughts will remain the same, some views may change when I am no longer the observer but actually the performer, in this play that is life. These thoughts simply reflect a bit of the chaos that plays through my mind every day as I take a moment to observe the little details that I encounter along my path.

Is God Wise?

This story has been passed on in my family for a long time and my dad often told it to us when we were younger. Tonight he said it again.

There was a boy and his father sitting under a mango tree and the boy commented to his father,
'God must be stupid, why did he put a little thing like a mango on such a huge tree and such a big pumpkin on a little vine on the ground'
At that exact moment a mango fell from the high branches of the tree on top of the boy's face and broke his nose.
His father answered, 'well that is why, imagine if God had put that pumpkin high on the branches, then you probably wouldn't have a face'

Smile bloggers!

Correction: My dad pointed out that the boy had just returned from studying and thinking that he knew more than his simple farmer father therefore posed the above question.
