One day, the father of a rich family decided to take his little son to the village, to the farm, to show his son how poor people can be. They spent the day and night on the farm of a very poor family. When they returned home, the father asked his son:
— How did you like the trip?
- It was wonderful, dad!
—Have you seen how poor people can be? - asked the father.
- Yes.
- And what did you learn from this?
The son replied:
“I saw that we have a dog in the house, and they have four dogs.” We have a swimming pool in the middle of the garden, and they have a bay that you can’t see the edge of. We illuminate our garden with lamps, and the stars shine on them. We have a backyard patio, and they have a whole horizon.
The father was speechless after this son's answer.
And the son added:
- Thank you, dad, for showing me how rich these people are.
Isn't it true that all this depends on from what point of view you look at the world? Having love, friends, family, health, good mood and a positive attitude towards life, you will get everything!
But it is impossible to buy any of the above things. You can acquire any material goods imaginable, even stock up on them for the future, but if your soul is not full, you have nothing!
