Subject: Rich v. Poor
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked. "Oh Yeah" said the son. "So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered, "I saw that we
have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the
middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have
imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are." Too many times we forget what we have
and concentrate on what we don't have. What is one person's worthless
object is another's prize possession. It is all based on one's perspective.
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for all the
bounty we have, instead of worrying about wanting |
