“The Reality of Wealth

*1. The richest man in* *Lebanon was Emil* *al-Bustani. He built a grave for himself in a* *beautiful area on the coast of Beirut. He wanted to be buried in this grave after his death.*

*Meanwhile, he had his luxury yacht. But while on a cruise one day, the yacht exploded & got sunk with him into the sea. After spending millions of dollars, the boat was found but without his remains. In effect, he couldn’t be buried in the exquisite tomb he built for himself.*

*2. One of Britain’s wealthiest men was a Jew named Rod Tshler. He was so rich that sometimes the government borrowed from him. He had set aside a room in his magnificent palace to keep his wealth. The room was always full of money and jewelry.*

*One day he entered the room and accidentally shut the door behind him. This door could only open from the outside and never within. He started shouting but no one could hear his voice because of the land mass of the palace.

Meanwhile, he used to be someone who would be absent from home for weeks without notifying anyone. Not even his family members. In effect, no one bothered to search for him when he was missing.

They thought he must have gone somewhere as usual.*

*But he was still locked in the room while he kept on screaming until he felt very hungry and thirsty.*

*He thus injured his finger and with the blood gushing out from the wound, he wrote on the room wall “The richest man in the world dying of hunger and thirst”.*

*He eventually died. But his body wasn’t discovered until several weeks later.*

*This message is for those who believe that Wealth is the solution to every problem and need of life.*

*Leaving the world is a big accident but we don’t know when, how, and where.*

*When the breath goes out, no one returns.*

*Do not oppress anyone.*
*Do not hate anyone.*
*And do not hurt anyone’s heart. Let your life be a blessing not a curse to humanity*
