Hi, Today I have posted a story which has a deep meaning. It makes me think how far one can go to to get money, power, grandeur and at what cost .... Is it really worth accumulating all this and that too at the cost of our health, family, life etc etc ???
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
Moral- One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed....

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work!
Life is short, energy limited, with this limited energy we have to find the unlimited; with this short life we have to find the eternal. Don't waste it with unimportant matters !!!
Be Happy and have a good and worthy life ! : ) : ) : )
