General tendency of us humans is that we often value tangible things or material things, but ignore intangible wealth. No? Let me ask you one simple question :
Imagine, you got punched in the face and got slightly injured, you are in pain and feel horrible, but immediately after that I give you 10 million dollars in your bank account. Now will you be happy or sad ? I presume you will be happy, and of course, 10 million dollars is a lot of money aye !
Now imagine you are hurt about something, could be anything. Someone wronged you in a relationship, or could just be wrong decision that you took, that is causing you pain. What is our immediate reaction? We cry, we sulk, we go into a negative frame of mind. We fail to see what we have gained - WISDOM.
The wisdom that we perhaps should not have fallen into the trap of a wrong thing- a relationship, or addiction, or pattern and the wisdom that how we can stay away from something harmful in the future. But we choose to ignore this wealth. Wisdom is no less valuable then material wealth. Yes, it cannot buy you that brand new Mercedes or a L uxorious vacation in Dubai. but it can make you capable of doing much more. It will help you from making any more mistakes.
Why do we humans, give less importance to intangible wealth than tangible wealth? We have to start looking at wisdom to be as valuable as tangible wealth. Only this can bring about a positive change in our lives.
Food for thought !
