King with four wives
Once upon a time there was a king with four wives, One day the king got sick and was on his death bed, afraid of being in the after life alone. He asked his fourth wife, whom he loved the most and bought her diamonds, gold and elegant clothing. He asked her would you die with me and go with me to the after life?
The fourth wife replied; I'm sorry, i can't do that and walked away.
He also loved his third wife and he was very proud and would always show her off to neighboring kingdoms. So he called on this third wife and asked would you accompany me to the after life? The third wife replied; I love my life too much. I'm sorry i cannot go with you and when you die I'm going to remarry.
His second wife has always been there for him in his times of need so he asked, would you accompany me to the after life? The second wife then replied; I'm sorry that i can't help you out this time but what i can do is arrange you funeral and i will be there for your funeral.
A voice called out and said I'll leave with you and follow you wherever you go. Even if it is to the after life. And the king looked and it was his first wife;
But this was the wife, that he took care of the least. He felt embarrassed and said; I'm sorry i should have taken better care for you and given you more attention when i was alive.
The moral of the story is that: We all have four wives, our fourth wife is our body. We like to decorate it with nice jewelry, nice clothing, but in the end it can't follow us to the after life.
The third wife represents our possessions. We spend so much time trying to gather possessions. But in the end they cannot follow us to the after life. It will be given to other people and divided. Just like the third wife said; She's going to remarry.
The second wife is our friends and family. We trust them they always there for us in times of need but the furthest they can do with us is to go with our funeral and sends us off.
Our first wife, The first wife represents, our soul, we usually neglect taking care of our soul. That is what will follow us to the after life.
Care for your body, keep it healthy, Enjoy your possessions and the comfort they provide. Cherish your friend and family, for the love that they provide, But don't forget to take care of you soul.
Nourish your soul. Take time to be alone. Take time to pray, take time to meditate, Because it is the source of all of your life and your most faithful friend.
I hope the story can help you or somebody that you love....
Awesome bro
