He leant his lessons!
It's story time!!
There lived a very wealthy man, he had so many assets and investments, having hired men and women too at his call. This wealthy man had a problem and what was it? He was a very stingy person. He had helped anyone, only cared about himself and what he owns.
Many friends and relatives came to him for help but he declined them all claiming he has no money or has already made investments before they came. His friends began to leave him one after the other but he didn't care, his family members started staying away and he didn't even notice.
He continued to enjoy his life without the company of friends or family. He built a very thick wall around him, no one could penetrate. He continued like that for many years.
One day this wealthy man was driving one of his luxury cars around as his usual routine was. Suddenly, A very big tree fell on his car and he got stucked inside, he couldn't come out. He cried for help but no one came. People walked pass his car without going close to help. He screamed but no response from anyone.
He started making promises to just anyone who can assist him but he was ignored. At the end of the day he woke up at the hospital and discovered he wasn't dead after all. He saw two poor men by the side of his bed, the same men he dispised and didn't help when they needed his help.
He was full of shame but on the other hand he was grateful for the help they rendered. They explained to him how they help him and why others ignored him. He was full of regret and made a decision never to be stingy anymore.
From that day onward he became a changed man.
It is true that money can give a person comfort, but it can never buy genuine people to stand by you when life happens. Many people learn this lesson late, when they are already alone.
I am glad the man got a second chance to change. That is the beauty of life, it is never too late to become a better person. Well written.
Classic karma catching up to him right there. It is wild how long someone can stay isolated like that before a reality check finally hits.
