Which Will You Take

Once evil spirits complained to God, “Why are they treated so badly, good spirits live in such a magnificent palace and we are all in ruins, why is this discrimination?”

God explained to them, “I made everyone equal but you have become evil spirits by your actions.”

But even after God’s persuasion, evil spirits kept complaining about being discriminated against.

So, God thought for some time and called all the good and evil spirits and said, “I have decided on request of the evil spirits, from today all the palaces or ruins that had been given to you to stay will be destroyed. Now, Good and evil spirits will be able to build two separate cities for themselves.”

Then a soul said, “But for this, where do we get bricks from?”

“When a person on earth tells a truth or lie, bricks will be prepared here in return for it. All the bricks will be the same in strength. Now, it is for you to decide whether you will take bricks made of truth or lies.”, replied God.

Evil spirits thought, that more people lie on the earth and so if they took bricks made of lies then a huge city could be built. So they asked God that they would be using bricks made of lies, on the other hand, good spirits got bricks made of truth.

Construction of both cities began simultaneously, with in a few days city of Evil Spirits city began to take huge form they were constantly getting piles of bricks and were able to build a magnificent city from it.

While the construction of the city for Good Spirits was going slow, even after many days they were able to build only a small part.

A few more days passed like this, and evil spirits were enjoying their stay at their new home in the newly built city then one day suddenly a strange incident happened, and bricks began to disappear from the city of evil. Bricks started disappearing from the walls, from the roofs, from the foundations of the buildings, from everywhere, and soon their city started taking the form of ruins.

Troubled evil spirits immediately ran to God and asked, “Why have these bricks suddenly started disappearing from our homes, our city has become a ruin again.”

God smiled and said, “Bricks started disappearing!! Well, it seems that the lies of those who lied were caught and that’s why the bricks made by their lies also disappeared.”
