This text won the German Short Literary Award

This text won the German Short Literary Award 🤔 A man was dying; when he realized he was dying, he saw God holding a box in His hand. God said: “It’s time to go.” The man said: “So soon? I had so many plans.” God said: “Sorry, but it’s time to go!” The man asked God: “What’s in your box?” God replied: “Your belongings.” The man asked: “My belongings? You mean: all my things? My clothes, my money, and so on?” God said: “Those are no longer yours! They belong to the earth.” The man said: “What about my memories?” God replied: “They belong to time.” The man asked: “My family and friends?” God said: “No, they were temporary!” The man asked: “What about my wife and children?” God replied: “They belong to your heart.” The man asked again: “So surely the contents of the box are my body parts, right?” God said: “No; they belong to dust!” The man said: “Then surely it’s my soul?” God replied: “Wrong! Your soul belongs to Me.” The man, with tearful eyes and great fear, took the box from God and opened it, only to find it empty. The man, with a broken heart, said: “I never had anything?” God replied: “That’s right, you owned nothing. The man asked: “So, what did I have?” God replied: “The moments of life were yours. Every moment that you lived was yours. Life is just moments; treasure the moments and love the moments. What has passed, became the past! Sadly, it passed without attention, but it passed! And when we wanted to reflect on ‘just a couple of days,’ the sign on the door said: ⇦ Passed Away ⇨ Let us treasure each other and the good moments we share. 🌹 This text won the German Short Literary Award. Dedicated to all noble and wise individuals. Let us value the moments of life. .... this is indeed life's best message and lesson on how to live fullyand to die fully
