子非鱼,安知鱼之乐?

There is a kindhearted person who asked God: 'God, why are there still suffering if you love us? Why don't you give everyone a big clean house so that we can all enjoy?'
God said, 'Sure, if you can find someone who wants it, I will grant them'
So the kindhearted person said, 'Of course every creature will want a big and clean house!'
He went off, and the first thing he met is a bunch of pigs.
'Hello! God say he will give you a nice big house with big pools. There won't be muddy at all, very clean indeed!'
The pigs give a shocked face, 'Are you crazy? Who would want a house like that? We love our mud!'

Do we think that other people are unhappy, or happy just from our narrow-minded perspective?
Do we think that we know what's good for everyone?
Are we so absorbed in our everyday drama, and we are actually enjoying soaking in our miseries and troubles?
