Balance - Aint that the truth!

Suaimhneach

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, on the seventh day, resting.
He inquired of 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." Said God. 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, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small landmass and said, "What's that one?" "Ah," said God. "That's Ireland, the most glorious place on Earth. It has beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and hills. The people from Ireland are going to be handsome, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as warriors, poets and scholars.

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then exclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the people I'm putting on the island next to them."
