Morality comes and grows; Money comes and goes

Morality comes and grows; Money comes and goes . ..... In 1923 , eight of the wealthiest people in the world met . Their combined wealth , estimated, exceeded the wealth of the government of the United States .

 

These men knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth . It's very interesting to read about what happened to these 8 wealthiest people in the world ,

25 years later ….. So 25 years later....... 1. President of the largest Steel Company, Charles Schwab, died bankrupt. 2. President of the largest Gas Company , Howard Hughes , went insane . 3. One of the greatest commodity traders, Arthur Cutton, died insolvent . 4. President of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was sent to jail . 5. A member of the President's Cabinet , Albert Fall , was pardoned from jail . 6. The greatest "bear" on Wall Street, Jessie Livermore, committed suicide. 7. President of the world's greatest monopoly, Ivar Krueger, committed suicide. 8. President , Bank of International Settlement , Leon Fraser , committed suicide .

So, what happened? Where did they go wrong ? They most certainly made lots and lots of money . They were very wealthy. But what did they lack then? In fact, as much as they knew how to make a living, they forgot to make a life ! Instead, they just made Money ! Money provides comfort and status , so true . It also provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, clothes for the needy ; and shelter for the homeless , yet , noteworthy to mention that is only a medium of exchange . Our education system needs to share two kinds of education. One that teaches us skills on how to make a living ; and one that teaches us values on how to live life , free from entrapment of chasing after an illusion of happiness . Many people are entrapped in that chase neglecting health, family , the social responsibilities , the environment and moment by moment of real deep fresh breathing . The kids are sleeping when we leave home. They are sleeping when we come home. Twenty years later , we WILL turn back , and they'll all be gone . Same goes for our health, dreams, and purpose in life . Twenty years later, they will all be gone or a far distant memory . Without water, a ship cannot move . The ship needs water. Yet, if the water gets into the ship, the ship will face problems and potentially sink. Similarly, we live in a time where earning is a necessity, but let not the earning enter our hearts ; for , what was once a means of living , will become heavy chain, an entrapment and a means of destruction !!!??? So take a moment and ask yourself …. "Has the water entered my ship?""
