　　有一个印度故事,是讲一颗糖果去天堂见上帝,它跟上帝抱怨说：「亲爱的上帝,我那么甜、那么好,不但遵守五戒,又一直都在打坐.」是啊!糖果一向都「坐」在桌上,无所事事.它说它从不曾伤害过任何人.「不过每个人一靠近我,就想把我吃掉,连蚂蚁、苍蝇也不例外,为什么?我犯了什么错?难道因果法律已经荡然无存了吗?」因为上帝说过,假如你做坏事、伤害别人、对人不好,那么别人也会对你不好.但如果你对别人好,又不伤害任何人,人家就不会伤害你,对吗?

　　Sothecandysaid,"Whyme?Iamacandy.(Laughter)Iamsosweet,andpeoplealwayseatmeandabuseme,why?"AndGodsaid,"YoubetterstepalittlebitfurtherbeforeIansweryou."Andthecandysaid,"Why,youdon'tlikeme?"Godsaid,"Justdoit!Standaway,please!"HesnearlylostHierstemper.Oh,Hesshoutedveryhard,veryloud.Andthesugarwasshaking,thinkingthatGodgotangrywithhimanddidn'tlikehim.Hesaid,"M-m-m-yG-g-god,butwhatdidIdo?"Godsaid,"Youdidn'tdoanything,butifyoustaytoonear,Iwillalsowanttoeatyou!"(Laughterandapplause)

　　所以糖果说：「为什么我不同呢?我是一颗糖果（大众笑）,这么甜,而人们却一直想吃我、虐待我,为什么?」上帝说：「你最好站远一点,我才回答你.」糖果说：「为什么?您不喜欢我吗?」上帝说：「只管照着做,站远一点,拜托!」上帝快要发脾气了,喊得很用力、很大声.糖果在发抖,它以为上帝在生气它,不喜欢它.它说：「老…天…啊!我做错了什么呢?」上帝告诉它：「你没做错什么,只不过你如果站得太靠近的话,连我也想把你吃掉.」（大众笑及鼓掌）

　　天地万物各有其本质,有些东西很有吸引力、很诱人,像糖果、巧克力、蛋糕等；有些则像火一样,任何东西一靠近就会被它烧掉.
