Living in today's metropolitan world of cellular phones, mobile computers and other high-tech gadgets is not only extreme but also very impersonal. We earn more money and invest our time and effort to make more money. Will it end? Usually not because we are never satisfied. How many times have we convinced ourselves that life would be so much happier if it had some money? But then, after getting a substantial raise, do we realize that it is not enough and that we need more?
mobile computers and other high-tech gadgets is not just hectic but very impersonal. We make money and then invest our time and effort in making more money. Does it end? Not usually because we are never satisfied.
What should you do?
I have read many books about life, for example the monk of Robin Sharma who says this and the monk says, and does not need money. But it is. Can you do it without cash and a lot? I know I can't.
So, I went to a neighborhood rabbi and asked for advice that would help me find my true way in life.
The rabbi nodded and took me to the window and said, "What does it look like?" He asked me.
That moment, I replied, "I see people going there and the one with the unseen in the left corner is begging."
The rabbi nodded and took me to a large mirror. "Look now and tell me what you see?"
"I can see myself," I answered.
"Rabbi smiled." Now you can't find anyone else. Both the mirror and the window are created from the same raw material: glass, but with a thin layer of silver mounted on one of them, you see your own reflection when you look at it.
The rabbi placed his arm on my shoulder. Compare yourself to those two pieces of glass. Without the silver lining, you have seen other people and have great sympathy for them. When you are covered with silver, you are only looking at yourself.
I looked at the rabbi and stared.
The rabbi continued. "You only become someone if you have the courage to remove the silver screen on your eyes to see and love others again." He knocked my back and sent me on my way.
I came to the conclusion that he meant everything. We need we should not aim to advance a cashless existence; It is meaningless and causes many heart attacks for us and our families in the next life.
Instead, I suggest that we follow the advice the Rabbi gave me. When we approach life through a silver lining, what we see is only us. But abandon that screen, and you will be able to see and feel them all.
In life, we both have the opportunity and the ability to look in the mirror, but we must remember that the mirror only reflects us; The window is the door to compassion, health and true wealth. In other words, seek wealth by all means, but do not let that stop you from living, people, children and the poor and needy.
