What is Life Advice Looking Through A Window?

Living in today's metropolitan world of cellular phones 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 How many times have we convinced ourselves that if only we had some more money life would be so sweet But then after receiving a substantial raise we realize that it was not enough and that we need more.

What Should You Do

I have read many books on life such as Robin Sharma Monk says this and the monk says that, and they all seem to say that money is not necessary But it is, can you do without cash and a lot of it I know I can not

So I went to the neighborhood Rabbi and asked for advice that will help me find my true way in life

The rabbi nodded and took me to the window, What do you see, he asked me

Promptly I answered I can see people walking to and fro and a blind man is begging for alms at the left corner

The Rabbi nodded and guided me to a big mirror Now look and tell me what you see

can see myself, I man answered

The Rabbi smiled Now you can not see anyone else The mirror and the window are both created from the same raw material glass but because on one of them they have applied a thin layer of silver when you look at it all you can see is your own reflection

The Rabbi placed his arm on my shoulders Compare yourself to those two pieces of glass Without the silver layer you saw the other people and felt compassion for them, When you are covered with silver you see only yourself.

I looked at the Rabbi and stared, I don't understand

The Rabbi continued You will become someone only if you have the courage to remove the silver covering over your eyes in order to again see and love others, He patted me on my back and sent me on my way

I have thought of what he said and come to the conclusion that he had a point, Yes We need money and, we should not aim to lead a moneyless existence it's pointless and will only cause us and our families many heartbreaks in the future

Instead, I suggest that we should follow the advice the Rabbi gave me When we approach life through a silver covering all we are able to see is ourselves But discard that covering and, you will be able to 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
