In my profession it’s easy to lose yourself and become engulfed in making money. I don’t think having money and living a comfortable life is a bad thing. But I believe that money can be dangerous and have witnessed the way it has wrecked lives. When you start calculating it makes it difficult for you to do your job properly. Your job is no longer satisfying hence you make yourself content by trying to earn even more. And so you enter a vicious cycle.
The problem with us human beings is that we are never happy with what we have. We always want more. Someone very dear to me once told me that “when you are very happy or very sad go to a graveyard”. I thought about what she had said. When you go to a grave yard you witness the graves of many people who once lived. It’s a good reminder of where we will all end up. It doesn’t matter if we have 6 mansions scattered throughout the world or live in a small damp room. When we depart from this life our wealth will be of no use to us. But our deeds will.

It is a pleaure to read your frank and truthful opinions, what you said reminded me of this proverb my dad used to tell me ages ago, as an example of passive tense in english:
When money is gone nothing is gone, when health is gone a little is gone, WHEN CHARACTER IS GONE, EVERYTHING IS GONE.
Please pass my especial regards to my beloved AH, whom I never forget his kind face with that especial halo !
