----------------------- Me, Myself and Mine ----------------------- In the land of the unknown, there comes this Rich Man that believes in nothing, but himself. One day, he feels that the N5billion mansion he is living in did not befit his status anymore, so he decided to demolish the mansion to build another 3 Kilometre Long Mansion that is never in the history of the whole world. After the completion of the new mansion, the rich man decided to gather everyone in the town together for house-warming, both the young and the old, men and women, the rich and the poor, I mean every Jupiter in the land. Everyone was happy as they eat and drink what they desire. Happiness feels the heart of all, wishing to be blessed by God like the Rich Man. As the day fades and everyone set to go to their various home, the rich man ordered his security men to ask them what they feel about the mansion and what they think needs to be fix around the house. They keep asking everyone as they step out of the main gate with plastic bags, full of food and drinks. They all claimed with smiled on their faces and happiness that nothing is wronged with the mansion; “absolutely nothing needs to be fix around the house, it is so perfect” they all said! Except a man who claimed to sees something not right about the mansion, everyone was shocked, some asked; what did he see? He must be a fool, don’t mind him; he is insane, they all said. The Rich Man ordered the security men to bring him over to tell him what is not right about the mansion, the poor man was brought to the Rich Man and he was asked to say what he sees. The poor man looks up to the sky with tears rolling down his face and said. Though, everything seems to be very perfect about this mansion, except one thing! One day, a day that is known to no one, the owner of this incomparable mansion will die and be bury in a tiny house, a house where everyone steps on, a house that is not longer than six feet, a house that will never see the reflection of lightness, but darkness, no one to offer a comforter and this beautiful mansion will be taken over by someone else. That’s all I sees that is not right about this mansion. The rich man and the people of the land was dumbfounded, they all could not utter a word, the rich man shield tears like a new-born baby, looking up to the sky and say; “forgive me Oh Lord for my foolishness! -------------------- Moral of the story -------------------- - To us all, Life doesn’t consist in the abundance of possessions - Life consists in love poured out abundantly and freely - Life consists in generosity of heart and a giving spirit, an eagerness to share what has been given by a gracious God - Life consists in a circle of love and kindness that extends way beyond the walls of me, myself and I and draws in neighbour after neighbour and only to discover that in the face of each neighbour is the face of God. Thank you.
