I thought that this was a healing, engaging, and thought-provoking essay.

An old man and his old dog, who died simultaneously in an accident, set off for heaven together.

As they were approaching, an angel suddenly appeared and stopped them. The angel said: “I’m sorry! Only one of you can go in. Do you see the road ahead of you? That road leads to the entrance into heaven. Whoever runs fast enough to get there first can go to heaven, while whoever loses the race has to go to hell.”

Upon hearing this, the old man told his dog: “Fu, you stay here and don’t move!”

After giving this order, he walked to the entrance to heaven.

The angel was very anxious. He bent down and said to the dog, “How can you be so silly? Hurry and catch up with your owner.”

The old dog looked patiently up at the angel with a simple look in his eyes that said, “I must obey my master’s orders.”

The angel looked at the old man’s back. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
He wondered why God would make such strange new rules.

This old man did not deserve to go to heaven.

Once the old man was one step away from entering the gate of heaven, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted: “Ah Fu, come here quickly.”

When the old dog heard his master calling him, he was so happy that he jumped up and ran quickly to his side. Due to his momentum, the dog rushed directly through the gate of heaven.

The old man laughed and said, “That’s great! My dog can go to heaven.”

The angel asked, “Why did you do it this way?”

The old man said: “Since Ah Fu is so loyal, he always walks behind me wherever I go. The only way that I could get him into heaven before me would be to get him so excited that he would run ahead.”

The angel was very moved and decided to make an exception. He let the old man and his dog enter heaven together.

At this time, God also appeared and said to the angel: “This has taught you a lesson. One should observe the final result of others’ actions before judging them.”

Many misunderstandings between people are caused by individuals jumping to conclusions without waiting to see the results of others’ actions.

Comment:

With more patience and understanding, there will be fewer misunderstandings and resentment between people.

不要急於下結論

好療癒的有趣短文， 饒富哲理，發人深省…(引用網路文章)

老人和他的老狗，同時在一場意外中過世，一起到了天堂。
眼看就要接近時，卻突然出現天使攔住他們說：「很抱歉！你們之中只有一個可以進去，有看到前面那條林蔭大道了嗎？這條路走到底，就是天堂的入口，你們比賽誰先跑到，誰就可以上天堂，另一個就只好下地獄了」。

老人聽了，就對狗下命令說：「阿福你留在這不許動」！

說完之後，自己便往天堂的入口前進。
天使非常焦急，彎腰對狗說：「你怎麼那麼傻？快點追上去呀」。
但老狗只是抬頭看了看天使，牠那單純的眼神彷彿在說：「我必須忠於主人的命令」。

天使望著老人的背影，
忍不住搖頭嘆息 …
他不明白為什麼上帝要訂出這麼奇怪的新規矩？
這個老人，明明就沒有資格上天堂啊。
眼看老人差一步就能跨進天堂的大門了，卻突然停下腳步，回過頭來大聲喊道：「阿福快過來」。
老狗聽到主人的叫喚，高興得跳了起來往前I狂奔，一口氣就跑到了老人身邊，因為力道太猛，就直接衝進了天堂的大門裡。

老人呵呵笑了起來說：「太好了！這麼一來，
我的狗就可以上天堂了」。
天使不解地問：「你為什麼要這麼做」?
老人說：「因為阿福非常忠心，無論我走到哪裡，牠都堅持走在我身後，唯一讓牠比我先進入天堂的方法，就是讓牠興奮起來，這樣牠才可能超前我。」

天使聽了非常感動，決定破例讓他們一起進入天堂。
此時上帝也出現了，並慈祥地對天使說：「這件事讓你上了一課，凡事一定要觀察到最後，才能下定論」。

人與人之間的許多誤會，就是起因於沒有
「觀察到最後」，就把自己的揣測當事實。

【啟示】
多一點耐心和理解，人與人就不會有那麼多的誤解和怨恨。
