Moment of Madness : A Chinese Story

There lived a man in the state of Qi who loved gold above everything else. Nothing else could excite him as much as the sight of gold.One day while passing a jeweler’s shop he saw a man handling a bar of gold. He rushed in, grabbed the gold and ran.But he was soon caught."Why did you steal the gold in front of so many people?" asked the judge."Your worship," said the man, "when I saw the gold I became blind to everything else. I did not see the people around."

    Hi dear Saso

    this is what WORLDLY LOVE does;makes you BLIND so that you just see WORLDLY things.
    but DIVINE LOVE makes you BLIND so that you just see the BEAUTIES of life.

    THANKS dear (referring to your blog-please and thank you) for sharing such a meaningful story
    have a beautiful time:)

    The man with weak pronominal values does such acts, who can not face their situation and they remain in lust of money always.

    I heard a story similar to this, tells about a man who loves gold.
    And then his wish achieved, everything around him turned into gold,
    (including his food) etc...
    I thought it was the same story at first.
    Anyway, they have the same point..
    Thank u for sharing it.

    Thanks alot for this great story..I think it is very useful too.Some people forget their other duties towards their families ,children and themselves just for keep running after money..At the end they will discover that they missed many great days and moments from their life which money can't bring them back..
    Thank you again dear.Have a great life..
    Your friend..Emi.
