Its time to start a new month with something good...Something that makes one feel better than before and give much thought for introspection...Found this story worth a read...
The story goes on as follows :
One day, the
father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the
express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple
of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return
from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great,
Dad.”
“Did you see how
poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said
the son.
“So, tell me,
what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered:
“I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to
the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have
imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio
reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
“We have a small
piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
“We have
servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow
theirs.
“We have walls
around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”
The boy’s father
was speechless.
Then his son
added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”
Moral:
Love, Unity, Care, Satisfaction is richer than any comfort money gives.
Money may buy you all the good things in the world but it cannot buy you feelings...It would be great to build relationships than to build buildings of money...
