Sorry bout that,

1. But this thread is to uncover what and how a *Good Life* is lived, and a successful life on Earth gets you to * A Better Place * after this life.
2. Meaning Heaven.
3. Here's a person's real life, who lived in a mid size Texas city, in the DFW area.
4. Which took place in the last century.
5. As it were,...........
6. A man who owned a radiator shop hadÂ*Â*a nice location downtown in a major city, and everyday, a young black child who was very poor, age 7, and didn't go to school, set up shop with a shoe shine kit, in front of his store, he came from a family of 8 children, and they all had to work in order to make it.
7. And everyday when a cop would drive by his shop every so often, what would happen is, the little boy would scurry real fast into the radiator shop to hide from the cop, doing this many times a day.
8. For even then they had laws that all children should be in school, and learning, even if you were black, this took place in the 1950's.
9. As it were one day the owner of the radiator shop died.
10. And he left the entire business to the *Shoe Shine Boy*.
11. The boy was now the owner of the radiator shop, and the contents of everything therein, which he then went to work in the shop learning all aspects of the business.
11. a) He now had employee's who were grown white men.
12. The man who died, left 50,000 dollars in the safe for inheritance tax.
13. The man who died also made it in his will that the name of the radiator shop would not have to be changed, because it was a *Family Named Business*.
14. It had his last name in the name of the business, which he knew his family wouldn't like or want the little black boy to be able to keep and use, but he protected the name, for the little black boy.
15. The man who died, had children of his own, but didn't leave it to them, or his brothers who were also in the business.
16. As time passed, early 1980's a rich person offered 300k for this shop, and by then the little black boy had grown up and had a 12 child family himself, and had also become a preacher.
17. So he sold to a developer downtown, and moved some what on the edge of downtown, buying another building taking the *Family Named Business * with him.
18. Till this day, the youngest Son, of * The Shoe Shine Boy * is still repairing radiators, he has many children.

Hmmm, what do we really know of this so called "Radiator Man"? We really don't know much of his life other than he gave this poor black kid his shop after he died. What did he actually do while he was alive?

1. Allowing some underage kid to hang out at your place of business all day and not making sure he was going to school seems like he was not doing this child any good.

2. Maybe while he was alive and cared so much for this child, he could have helped out the parents so that this child could be in school instead of hanging out in front of his shop.

3. Maybe there is something that we don't know about the relationship between this shop owner and this child. We are only shown the surface of things, yet we have no idea of this shop owner's intentions.

4. Perhaps he could have fathered this child out of some affair with the child's mother.

5. We really have no idea whether this was a good man in God's eyes or not. He may have been a closeted homosexual. Maybe he didn't even believe in god, but pretended to. We really have no idea what happens to our family, friends and neighbors once they die. You can see people on the surface, but do you really know them?
