Being rich

This was so touching. Comparing to that great man, I'm nothing. Just running after money, leaving everything behind, we forget our true purpose of life.

Thank you for sharing this video, it is surely true...

Very touching and so very true.  Thank you for sharing.

As a daughter I am having so much guilty feelings. I never ill-treated my Dad or Mom but I was with them helping their old age. I wanted to do two simple things for them but before I complete it, they have gone!!
I wanted to prepare a dish full of his favorites and invite my father for a lunch- but few days before my housewarming, he has passed-away.  Gone without informing us- suddenly!!
I wanted to make a golden bangle for my Mom because she once sold her beautiful bangle to make some new jewelries for me… (as a teenager I promised to myself, I must buy her a bangle someday)
I couldn’t make that promise because of hectic life situations I was facing… I couldn’t make it until she passed-away…
Today I am repenting so much… They will not come back until I go to them…!!

That's a good age for both of them.
My mum was 88 when she passed away a few years ago. She had outlived my father by many years since he died at 67. Both were born in 1919.

My parents are still living and they are at their 60's............

Sometimes i wonder what we start with and where we reaches.............this thread started with about richness and now we all became bit imotional......and at the same time we are thinking of our parents.........this is the beauty of this site.......always good things get generated from no where..........
RIP to your parents from me too Elwin and Mal...............

Yes, it's good when people think of their and others parents, indeed of our ancestors generally.
I am not religious and don't prey but still I hold them in veneration. 

Everyone has its own way of prayer and i feel even this is a kind of prayer............selflessly thinking of them and praying for them.................

You are right, being rich is being in reach to help!

Only few does that.........

My dad will celebrate his 94th birthday in May.

Wish him a happy birthday and best wishes.........

Welcome to Expat-Blogs.......cotton candy..........
Yes thats true..........

Sometimes i think being rich means making poor to others.........If i became rich means definetly i will earn more and if i earn more then others will not get what they were supposed to get,so i will become rich and others become poor.........

If you become rich you will make others poor........means when there is a source of earning either you gain or someone else.....so when you gain others loose.......so mathematics is clear..........

Being rich is not just having money. Richness of soul, richness of thought and well being to others make people richer than a millionaire.
