What a Life Advice Looking Through A Window

Life in today's metropolis world with cell phones, mobile computers and other high-tech gadgets is not only bustling, but very inhumane. We invest time and effort to make money and make more money. Is it over? Usually not because we are never satisfied. How many times have we convinced ourselves that  life would be too sweet if we had more money? But since you've got a solid increase, do you understand that this isn't enough and more is needed? 
 
 What should I do? 
 
 I've read a lot of books about life like Robin Sharma's The Monk Says This, Monk Says That, and they all seem to say you don't need money. But this. Can you do it cashless and have a lot of cash? i know i can't 
 
 So I went to the local rabbi for advice that would help me find my true life path. 
 
 The rabbi nodded his head and led me to the window. "What do you see?" he asked me 
 
 I answered immediately. “I see people walking back and forth and the blind man is begging in the left corner.” 
 
 The rabbi nodded and led me to the large mirror. “Now, can you  tell me what you are looking at?” 
 
 “I  see myself,” I replied. 
 
 The rabbi smiled. "Now you can't see the other person. The mirrors and windows are all made of the same raw material - glass, but  one of them has a thin layer of silver applied to it, so all you  see is your own reflection." 
 
 The rabbi placed his hand on my shoulder: “Compare yourself to these two pieces of glass. Without the silver layer, I felt compassion for others. When  covered with silver, you only see yourself." 
 
 I looked at the rabbi and looked at him. "I don't understand." 
 
 The rabbi continued, "I can't remove the silver veil from my eyes so that I can see and love others again." You have to have the courage to become someone." He patted me on the back and made my way. 
 
 I pondered his words and came to the conclusion that he was right. Yes. We need money and we shouldn't try to live a life without money. It is pointless and will bring a lot of sorrow to us and our families  in the future. 
 
 Instead, I propose to follow the advice the rabbi gave me. When we approach life through  silver plating, all we  see is ourselves. But when you take that cover off, you can see and feel everyone else. 
 
 
 
 In life, we are allowed to and should be able to look at both kinds of mirrors, but we should remember that a mirror reflects only us; a window is the door to compassion, health and true wealth. In other words, seek wealth by all means, but don’t let it dissuade you from life, people, children and the poor and needy.
