There are two occasions when God cannot help but smile.
When a person is seriously ill and close to death, and the doctor says to the patient’s mother: “Don’t be afraid, I will save him,” then the doctor forgets that the will of the Lord lies at the basis of every event of life or death. And hearing his words. The Lord smiles, thinking: “How stupid this man must be, who boasts that he will save the life of his patient who is dying according to My will.”
And the Lord also smiles when two brothers divide their property. They measure the land and say: “This part is mine, and that part is yours.” And the Lord smiles, thinking: “The whole Universe belongs to Me, but these stupid brothers say: “This part is mine, and this part is yours.”
