Good Evening!
Yo, it is COOOOOLD!!!!! That wind is biting!!!! Alas, la vie! heh heh. I hope some of you out there are enjoying some awesome weather! If I imagine so, then I can feel it too, tru! Aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint.
- Proverbs 23:4
BAM! That is some knowledge right there! Believe you me! MMHMMM! This is good advice! You figure this would be common sense, but once money gets into the picture.... yooooo sense gets kicked to the curb and greed takes over. We really gotta watch out, especially today. Do you know how many get rich quick schemes there are out there? Everyone wants to get rich! But I bet you not everyone knows why. Some peeps don't even realize all the other responsibilities that come into play when one does become rich. Nothing is a walk in the park.
But why is this good advice? For one, you may never get rich. If that is the case, potna you just wasted away your life wearing yourself out trying to get rich. Wouldn't that suck? I mean, you can't get that time back. Once times passes by, it's gone. Now say you do get rich, but yo you wore yourself out doing it. Will there be anyone else in your life that is actually important to you to share it with? In all likelihood, the time you took to wear yourself out becoming rich was time you stole away from growing and nurturing those true, lifetime friendships. So you're rich, but you're alone, and all of your "new" friends aren't even friends at all.
Or check this, you wear yourself out getting rich... and BAM, a natural disaster hits and washes it all away. You done spent a LIFETIME building up wealth, ground yourself to the core, pushed many a person away, neglected even your own health..... and just like that, it's gone. Wouldn't that be a shame? A life... completely wasted chasing material things? That which is material will not last, nor will it ever satisfy the deep things of our beings. Let's rep the proverb potnas. Let us have the wisdom to show restraint. There has to be a balance and a proper perspective. The lives around us, especially those close to us, are ever more important than riches and material wealth. Let's not forget that and instead hold true towards practicing restraint.
