Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven , God was missing for six
days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh
day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards
through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to
call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth,
but cold and harsh while pointing to different parts of earth. "For
example, Northern southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and
pleasant."
"I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched
deserts."
"This one will be extremely hot, while t his one will be very cold and
covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a group of
Islands and said, "What are those?"
"Ah," said God. "That's the Philippines , the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The
people from the Philippines are going to be handsome, modest,
intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the
world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving
and they will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and
love."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What
about balance, God? You said there would be balance." God replied
wisely,
"Wait until you see the idiots I designated as their leaders!"
