A friend and reader of this site posted an interesting thing to his blog today. I had to repost it and I hope this is alright by him. You can his other entries at this address.
Without more delay; here is his entry:
Most go through life seeking wealth and fortune. To many this means a bank account, a larger house than our friends and neighbors, to furnish the house with nice things and to treat our friends with gifts and things. What is wealth really?
We arrive in this world with nothing, no clothes, just a screaming entity. How do we leave? With the same, nothing. The hell of the material accumulations? Someone else gets the ones that we managed to hold on to.
So, what is real wealth and treasure?
The wealth and treasure are in ourselves and each other. How do we increase this wealth then? We increase it by giving it away. We give others our love and ourselves. I'd say that on the average this has a much greater return than any of the markets in our world. To me it is an honor to have another accept my love, to accept what help that I can give them, to accept my ear and know that they can tell me anything.
Thanks "Mr. F" for the words of wisdom.
