The Bank

Hugh stormed into the bank with fire in his eyes. Demanding to see the Bank President, he pushed past the protesting secretary and slammed open the door. "Why wasn't I told about this huge debt?" Hugh demanded, before he even bothered to notice the unflustered face of the remarkably composed man behind the desk.

"You have been notified," the President replied calmly, "many times in fact. I can't tell you how pleased I am that you've finally chosen to set things right."
Taken aback, Hugh's tone was different now. "But how can I ever repay such a huge debt?" he asked.
"You can't. No one can."
"You mean others have the same debt?"
"Everyone has the debt."
"Then if everyone has this debt and no one can pay, how can the Bank survive?"
"There is One Who has paid the debt for anyone who wants to be forgiven. Your Notices also clearly explain this," replied the President.
"Why then do you not just forgive all debts?" asked Hugh.
"How can we forgive the debt of those who will not even admit it exists?" answered the President, "Some continue to send payments despite our Notices that the debt has been paid. Others simply ignore the debt."

As he realized that his debt was forgiven, a lifetime of anxiety began to crumble, leaving only a profound joy in Hugh's heart. "How can we let people know their debts are paid if they won't read your Notices?" he asked cheerfully.
"We rely on those, like yourself, who have admitted to the debt and been forgiven to spread the word."
"Then that's what I'll do!" beamed Hugh, bounding out of the office. "Thank you!" he added, over his shoulder.
