Misanthropy

My father died two years ago. And we've recently decided to sell the house that we were all born in. It seems that since the news got around, many "friends-of-your-father" have come out of the woods. The door bell keeps ringing. The door bell and I have always had a dark relationship and now the animosity grows. It bears these "friends-of-your-father".

Then it occurred to me, how can God bear it? All those people who come to Him beseeching away. Asking to be given special favors. Bells cackling away. I wonder if they also say to Him, "we're 'friends-of-your-father'".

[Resounding Hail Marys, as I write.]
