" As a mortal, you must accept the imperfections of life. For those who can change, don't complain about others, and be aggressive; for those who can't change, be calm and settled. "

As a radio host, there have been several upsets in Bruce's life.

In the company, he frequently loses to competitors and is ridiculed by his colleagues; at home, he is helpless by the bad habits of pet dogs; even if he occasionally expresses kindness, he will be beaten by a gangster.

Bruce attributed all this to unfair fate, thinking that God deliberately teased himself.

Hearing Bruce's complaint, God gave Bruce a chance to experience God.

Bruce, who had gained supernatural power, was still happy at first. The first thing he did was to correct his messy life.

The facts are as he wished.

By creating some unexpected events as news materials, Bruce finally took the coveted position of anchor; his pet dog learned to go to the toilet by himself; he used his supernatural power to teach the punks and let out a bad breath.

Even the cup of girlfriend Grace's cup was enlarged by his will.

Say what you say. As a temporary God, everything he thinks can be achieved.

However, God's life is not so good.

As a God, you also have your own unfreedom.

First, God must deal with the prayers of believers on earth.

To have the rights of God, you need to bear the obligations of God. And it is God's duty to respond to believers' prayers.

If you don't respond, then these sounds will linger around your ears, annoying.

In order to reduce the workload, in the face of millions of prayers, Bruce agreed to all of them, thinking that everyone was happy, but it turned out to be self-defeating.

The desires of mankind are very different, and some are even contradictory. The realization of all of them can only cause greater confusion.

that's the truth. Dissatisfied crowds rushed to the streets, beating, smashing, looting and burning, and order was out of control.

Second, God has no right to interfere with man's free will.

Even with supernatural power, Bruce still has something to do with it.

He can move the stars and the moon and make the world revolve around him, but he can't save Grace's injured heart.

People are often blind, and don't know how to cherish happiness when they are around, and only regret it when they are lost.

Once he was blinded by the trivialities in life, and ignored the really important things.

The painful Bruce finally found out that it was Grace that he cared most about.

Compared with Grace's love, the previous dissatisfaction was insignificant.

He finally woke up.

Finally, Bruce returned the supernatural power.

Without his divine power, he is no longer omnipotent. But he regained Grace's love, a treasure that could not be controlled by the authority of the gods.

At the end of the story, Bruce's life is back on track.

He retrieved the most important things in life, learned to accept some unchangeable things in life, and learned to change the imperfect reality through his own efforts.

Life is not destined to be perfect, and there are very few things you want to achieve.

Mortals are not gods, and the world will not revolve around themselves.

Taking a step back, even for God, there are many difficulties.

As mortals, we must accept the imperfections of life. For those that can be changed, don't complain about others, don't show off others, and be aggressive; for those that can't be changed, deal with them calmly and feel at ease.

The ancients said: Life is unsatisfactory.

But if you let this unsatisfactory eight or nine things linger in your heart, you will inevitably blame the heavens and others and lament the unfair destiny.

Think about it often at this time.

Maybe we can discover like Bruce that the one or two is the meaning of life.
