Why is wealth like a cloud ? Wealth is solid cash or cash like properties. It is tangible. Why ancient wisdom describe it this way. What is the logic ? Are these words coming from a sore loser ? Why is it so pessimistic? If we don't chase after wealth, it will destroy the establishment and dreams of many people.
Yes. I have seen three people who died within these three years. All wealthy people and in the end, they realized that money is not everything and when they are gone, their wealth no longer belongs to them. In the dying years, people often used a large part of their wealht to exchange for additional time on earth especially the sickly. The saying indirectly implies that at the end, when the wind blows, the cloud disappear. it depicts the filmsy nature of wealth.
Recent, my ex-colleague and friend died unexpectedly but before he died, he left behind his last message. A crack at life.
In his last message, he poked fun at wealth , asked people to enjoy nature , peace and relax. Wealth can go up one day and the next day it could come down like shares. He advised not to sleep and drink but to listen to the birds and watch them flying in the sky , so much freedom and space. Time is limited and enjoy the present just like the bird flying wherever we want and so whatever we choose.
Today is his funeral and last night , at his wake , I wish him farewell and rest in peace. Life is uncertain when we are alive but after we die , every thing will be certain. This is the reality of life.
Namaste.
