Toy Foible

Some think that by owning “Status Mansion” or being seen in fine, designer dress or that through their financial expansion they will somehow achieve true happiness. It never quite happens ... always some hitch that gives new meaning to the word “idle.” They can never be wealthy, only rich. They have it all, but they’re suicidal. They say the one who dies with the most toys wins, but possessions don’t make one's life best if they haven’t provided for life’s joys or attained satisfaction, peace and rest. Neglecting their “reason,” to “seize the day”, obsessed with winning, some forget it’s play.

Very well expressed and I certainly concur. When you leave this world, you can't take your possessions with you either. Enjoyed the read! Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
