Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He asked God, “Where have you been ?”

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards
through the clouds, “Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, “What is it ?”
“It’s a planet”, replied God, “and I’ve put Life on it.”
“I’m going to call it Earth and it’s going to be a great place of balance.”
“Balance ?” inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth.
“For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and
wealth, but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but
sunny and pleasant. I have made some lands abundant in water and other
lands parched deserts. This one will be extremely hot, while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice.”
The Archangel, impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a group of islands
and said, “What are those ?”

“Ah”, said God. “That’s Indonesia, the most glorious place on earth. There
are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people from
Indonesia are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and
they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely
sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known throughout
the world as carriers of peace and love.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed,
“What about balance, God ? You said there would be balance.”
God replied wisely, “Wait until you see the idiots I put in the
government.”
