What is life? The answer is not simple one. The meaning differs from person to person. The thing which gives happiness is life. But to some people money is life, because money can buy everything and also the happiness.
In spite of having too much money, people are not happy at all. Then what is the use of earning too much money? People are trying to get more and more money. They have no time to spend the the money they possess. No time to enjoy the natural beauties and bounties. NO time to look after their health. They want to have more and more 'property'. But property does not belong to the person who owns it but enjoys it. Then what is the use of collecting more and more money? You need small amount of money to fulfill your needs. The remaining amount remains unused. You put it into the saving account hoping to be used by your successors. But you don't give them chance to earn the money by hard work. They will not know that 'money earned by the sweat of one's brow is the only money that gives the sense of fulfillment and happiness'. Why to make your children idle by earning more and more money? Why not to make them find their own way of earning money?
Death is certain, time of death is certain, but we are not aware of it. Till then we go on collecting more and more money thinking that it is a useful means of happiness. When the death strikes, we have to leave everything behind and embark the journey of 'uncertainty'. The journey to the unknown land and unknown companions. We will not know what will happen after our death. Nobody knows what will happen with the property and 'our dear ones'. Everything will become 'Meaningless'. Then why to waste our time on saving more and more money for 'Meaningless' world.
Enjoy each moment as it comes. Spend money on the things that are useful to you and that give you sense of happiness and fullfillness. Life is short. Enjoy it. To day is yours, tomorrow will be of others.
Well said sirji
