WHICH ANGEL ARE YOU?
An old Persian legend once pictured four angels watching God create the world. One said, "Why did God make it?" Another said, "How did God make it?" A third said, "Can I have it?" And the fourth said, "Can I help to make it better?"
1st - philosophical attitude - why?
2nd - scientific attitude - how?
3rd - selfish attitude - can I have it?
4th - Christian attitude - Can I help to make it better?
