The Almighty gave people seeds and ordered them to take care of them so that fruits and flowers would grow.
People did everything they were told and rejoiced at the fruits and flowers that grew, but, to their surprise, weeds grew from some of the seeds. And then the people complained:
- Lord, didn’t we water the sprouts, didn’t we fertilize the soil, didn’t we warm the sprouts in winter and protect them from the scorching sun? Why did some of them grow into weeds, worthless and littering the gardens?
And the Almighty was angry with the human race for these words:
- You are not allowed to know about my plans! Remember, these are not your seeds, these are my seeds! Your job is only to water and fertilize them. If you don't water them, I'll rain on them; if you refuse to take care of them, I'll teach them to do without fertilizers. Now go and do what you’re told, and don’t expect gratitude for your work.
