Life

Is life worth living?...............................................
Has often been asked and many people would answer that it depends on one,s fate. Yest this idea of fate ,if rightly viewd should not lead a man to despair. In this world there is great scope for excercise of our wil and energy and we know that practically we are free to act or not in any particular way. 2here is nothing to prevent a man from believing that is is fate to make great progress ,to exert himself in this life and overcome many adverse cirsumstances and to become by strong faith and effort mentally rich ,happy, useful and successful, in the truest sense of the word .+n fact if we believe that the world is ruled by a benevolent diety it must follow that such is every man,s fate for it is the will of GOD
But apart from these mysteries which have puzzled man from the very beginning of time let us make an effort to know what it is that we are really to strie for in this life Is it to get rich?
Observation ,if not experience shows that wealth cannot confer happiness or make life truely comfortable The all important thing is not what we have but we are, not possession but character , not the means of living but life itself for: man,s life consisteth not of the abundance of the things that he possesseth. : we should regard it as absurd for a blind man to collect pictures, or for a deaf man to surround himself with musical instruments and yet there are plenty of people in the world who have indulged in equally irrational acts gathering wealth which they can never use,and which they do not know how to use when they get it A man ,s real wealth is not represented ny this balance or his sprawling property ,but by his capacity to enjoy and his ability to appreciate things .A walthy man no matter how rich he may be has his five senses and his own mind and heart only where with to take in the world
The poor labouring man often murmurs
have a blessed time :)
