THE WISDOM OF THE MADMAN GALLERY

THE OWNERS OF ETERNITY
 

Some learned men were together discussing about life and death, then they went into more complicated subjects talking about eternity and started to congratulate each other, saying:

" We are eternal and when our body dies we will be like the caterpillar becoming butterfly."

Then, they heard a big laugh, it came from the man named Madman, who started to laugh and laugh saying:

" You have thought so much that you have become eternal butterflies, but I would rather be caterpillar than becoming butterfly for all eternity.
Why do you pretend to be eternal? Don't you know that men are already made as animals and their nature is mortal and only those who have gotten, not by virtue, but by grace, the Love of the Creator, then, they will have spirit and could hope for eternal life.
The animal soul may die and embody but their destination is not eternity, while the one who has soul and spirit is able to faithfully be in the paths of the Creator. But, you butterflies, boast too much, and your nature does not seem to be spiritual."

When the learned men heard this, they answered: " You are mad and you do not know what you are talking about."

And the Madman replied: " I may be mad because I have lost the reason because of Love of God but you are butterflies or better said, another type of madmen, dreaming about becoming owners of eternity."
