When i died god asked me what i had done with my life.

I have loved and i have lost, i have felt pain and
suffering, i have felt happiness and joy, i have laughed and
i have cried, and both together. i have seen the world and i
have helped build it. 

Then i thanked him.

Why, he asked, do you thank me?

Because even though i have lost everything and i am dead,
you gave me the richest life, and even though you have taken
it all away you first gave it to me.

Do you love or hate me? he asked.

and i replied. I do not know you.
