Living in today’s fast-paced world filled with smartphones, laptops, and high-tech gadgets can often feel impersonal. We chase money, then invest even more energy trying to earn more. Does it ever end? Usually not, because we rarely find satisfaction. How often have we thought life would be perfect with just a little more money, only to find that a raise isn’t enough?
What Should You Do?
I've read books like Robin Sharma's, which suggest that money isn't everything. But let’s be honest: money is essential. Can we live without it? I know I cannot.
Seeking guidance, I visited my neighborhood Rabbi for advice on finding true purpose in life.
He took me to a window. "What do you see?" he asked.
"I see people passing by and a blind man begging for alms."
Then he led me to a large mirror. "Now, what do you see?"
"I see myself," I replied.
The Rabbi smiled. "Notice the difference. Both the window and the mirror are made of glass, but the mirror has a thin layer of silver. With it, you only see yourself."
He put a hand on my shoulder. "Without the silver, you looked outward and felt compassion. With it, you see only your reflection."
I was puzzled. "I don’t understand."
He continued, "To truly become someone, you must have the courage to remove the silver layer, see others, and love them."
His words resonated with me. Yes, we need money, and we shouldn't aim to live without it, as that would cause unnecessary struggles for us and our families.
Instead, we should apply the Rabbi’s wisdom: when our view is clouded by silver, we only see ourselves. Remove it, and we can see and empathize with others.
Conclusion:
In life, we can look at both windows and mirrors. Remember, a mirror reflects only us; a window opens up to compassion, health, and true wealth. Seek wealth, but don’t let it blind you to life, people, children, and those in need.
