One
day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country
with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a
day and a night on the farm of a very poor family. When they got back
from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?” “Very
good Dad!” “Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Yeah!” “And what did you learn?”
The son answered, “I saw that we have a
dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the
middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have
imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to
the front yard; they have a whole horizon.” When the little boy was
finished, his father was speechless. His son added, “Thanks, Dad, for
showing me how ‘poor’ we are!”
Isn’t it true that it all depends on the
way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good
humor and a positive attitude towards life — you’ve got everything! You
can’t buy any of these things. You may have all the material
possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc.; but if you
are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
