I recently have read an interesting and somehow satiric anecdote. I would like to share it with you: It was time to define average lengths of all living-things’ life. Allah began with man. He gave man 30 years-length life. Man was not satisfied and wanted more. Allah wanted man to wait. After man, it was donkey’s turn. Allah gave donkey 30 years too. Donkey minded to live 30 years as "a donkey.” Allah reduced 15 years from donkey’s life and added it to man’s life. Dog took the turn. Allah gave dog 30 years too, and the same thing happened. Allah reduced 15 years from dog’s life and added it to man’s life. The next was monkey. The same thing happened, and Allah did the same. Now, man’s life was 75 years. At the end, there was a conclusion, annoying or unacceptable for some people: Man lives the first 30 years of his life as "a man.” During the next 15 years, man lives working as "a donkey.” Between 45th – 60th years of his life, man lives as irritable as "a dog” because his nerves are already out. After 60th year, he lives as "a monkey.” I know it is too rude. I am so sorry about that. You may criticize. I will deliver your criticism to the writer J I thought a lot whether to put this here or not, but I found it interesting. (I have paraphrased the text and replaced the word "God” in the text with the word "Allah”) Avidity is bad!
