Better For the Soul

Better for the soul a nugget of wisdom to possess, than a billion in gold bars to amass!

With wisdom everything else of value can be acquired. Mind you the gold bars would be tempting but they would be much more difficult to carry.

I commented on your other writes Demetrios. I am glad you planted your garden. I hope that your fruits and vegetables grow and grow and may you savor and enjoy the fruits of your labor my friend. A great thought written here for in the end you can't take it with you but the wisdom to honor to worship to obey will be rewarded eternally. An the admiration of our Gods love and protection will last forever more. Let them keep their gold give me that nugget of wisdom...

I've heard many that win the lottery end up becoming nearly broke and in debt ... with so much wealth, all at once, one is not sure what to do with it all. Perhaps they lacked the wisdom to invest properly, or use it moderately. Good monoku.
