The so-called secured future

The so-called secured future

A wealthy man approached an old monk to share his pain. The old monk asked him, "gentleman, how can I help you?"

The wealthy man said, "I am unhappy and restless" The old monk asked him, "Are you restless because you are unhappy or are you unhappy because you are restless?"

The wealthy man was confused and said, "I am not sure."

The old monk said Let me rephrase my question, what is disturbing you?

The wealthy man said, "I have too many properties to manage, but I don't have time to manage all of them" The old monk said, " When you live in one body, why do you require too many houses?

The wealthy man said, "I have invested my hard-earned money on the properties to secure my future."

The old monk smiled & said, "You will have properties, but not future" Anything you possess more than what you need will only burden you and will not secure you. You are unhappy and restless not because of your inability to manage the properties, it because of not letting go, what is not needed.

The wealthy man acknowledged and left the monastery

Peace enters when fear and greed exit
