Life in today's world of big cities mobile phones, laptops and other high-tech gadgets are not just chaotic but personal. We make money and invest our time and energy in making more money. Is it over? It is rare because we have never been satisfied. How many times have we told ourselves that if we had more money, life would be so much better? However, after much improvement, do we realize that it was not enough and that we needed more?
What Should You Do?
I read a lot of books like Robin Sharma's Monk saying this and the monk saying that, and they all seemed to say that money was not needed. But it is. Can you do without money and much more? I know I can't.
So I went to a local rabbi and asked for advice on how I could find my real way of life.
The rabbi nodded and led me to the window. "What do you see?" he asked me.
Immediately, I replied, “I see people going up and down and the blind man asking for help on the left.
The rabbi nodded and directed me to a large mirror. "Look now tell me what you see?"
“I can see myself,” replied the man.
Rabbi smiled. “Now you can't see anyone else. The mirror and window are both made of the same green material: glass, but because in one of them they form a thin layer of silver, if you look at everything you can see it is your image.
The rabbi put his arm around my shoulders. “Compare those two pieces of glass. Outside the silver plate, he saw other people and felt sorry for them. When he is clothed with silver, he sees it. ”
I looked at the Rabbi and stared. "I do not understand."
Rabbi continued. "You will only be human if you have the courage to remove the silver veil from your eyes to see and love others." He patted me on the back and walked with me.
I thought about what she had said and concluded that she had a point. Yes. We need money and we should not aim to live a life without money; it is absurd and will cause us and our families many heartaches in the future.
Instead, I suggest that we follow the rabbi's advice. As we approach life with a silver cover, we can see for ourselves. But remove that cover, and you will be able to see and hear everyone.
In life, we are allowed and should be able to look at both types of mirrors, but we must remember that the mirror reflects only us; the window is the door to compassion, health and true wealth. In other words, seek wealth by all means, but do not let it rob you of life, people, children and the poor and needy.
