the little man

One fine day two men were walking down the street. One was a powerful politician and the other was a normal working class family man. Suddenly God appeared in front of them and said,” Due to overpopulation on earth, I will have to take one of you away. However, I will give both of you a chance to make your case on why you should stay.”

Both men trembled and the powerful politician said in a distinguished tone,” I’m a very important person in this world and I have the obligation to serve millions of my fellow countrymen.” God nodded. The family man said,” Please God, please don’t take me away for I have a wife and two children to take care of.” God nodded as well.

“I have made up my mind,” said God. In a thundering fire, the powerful politician found himself drifting into nothingness. Confused the politician asked God,” Why have you chosen me? I’m a leader of mankind and my value is much higher compared to the family man.” God answered,” That’s true. But they can always elect another leader to take your place. However, if I choose the family man, his wife and children will suffer and have no one else to look after them.”

Therefore do not belittle the little man. You will never know when your fate lies in his hands. God bless Malaysia.
