The Two Kings

My sister told me a very interesting story last night.

It's about two kings, one was very kind and fair, the other a tyrant. Both kings fell ill of a disease that could only be cured by a rare type of fish, which are only available during certain seasons.

The villain king fell ill during the season which the fish was hard to find. But God made it that someone was able to find the fish and brought it back to the king. So, the tyrant king was cured.

The good king, on the other hand, fell ill during the season where the fish was plenty. But by God's will, nobody was able to catch the fish to save him. And so the good king died.

How unfair isn't it? That was exactly what I thought too. And I guess, so was the Angels. That's why God explained this to them:
The tyrant was had done only one good deed in his life, while the good king did one bad thing.

I know, this is proving that God is even more unfair, isn't it?

Wait til you read this:
God let the bad king survived so he will have nothing more to claim on Judgement Day, because he has received God's mercy while on Earth. So God can send him straight to Hell, with mo chance of going to Heaven. Sort of lifetime jail without parol, I guess, only this is not lifetime - it's for eternity.

Meanwhile, the good king was left to die as a punishment for the one bad thing he had done, so he will owe God nothing in the afterlife. Then he can take the express train to Heaven and stay there forever.

What do you think, now? I cried. Nothing in my head or heart, simply tears in my eyes.

You can read a longer version of the story here, but it's in Malay.
