Where’s the map?

Hassan: Will you permit me to ask a question?

Amir: Of course.

Hassan: Why did the man have to kill his wife?

Amir: Because each of his tears becomes a pearl!

Hassan: Yes, but why couldn’t he just smell an onion?

Have you ever wondered why you are you, why – how do i put this idea across delicately – you are this particular soul, with this name in this family? Have you ever thumped your chest and wondered why God made you to be thus? The reasons for your emotions, your decisions, your logic. Why you are fully you. and none can impersonate.

I was reading this article, and it says a particular word stems from the Greek word for poem. Thus we are God’s poems. I wonder what He was thinking when he made me. When he made you. Really.
