True Richness: A Personal Viewpoint

The misconception of this general word has been misused and specified for the term based on  philistinism.   Richness is not just based on material wealth for it teaches us to be shallow and narrow minded.

Spiritual wealth, knowledge and good health should be imbibed for these are the essential ingredients to attain true happiness and success.    Spiritual richness means having “peace of mind which is priceless” while “knowledge and good health will never abandon you”.  Physical/material is tangible, unlike peace of mind and knowledge, which are intangible. That’s why we tend to appreciate what is tangible more than the intangible.

Peace of mind can only be attained thru meditation, and the goodness within, by not entertaining any negative thoughts.   Negative thoughts produce evil words and actions.   That’s why it takes courage to be optimistic, but it’s a choice, and can be attained.

Knowledge will help you achieve goodness, good health and material wealth.  That’s why EDUCATION is a good investment.  The more knowledge you invest, the more you can achieve, the more you can share.

GOOD HEALTH gives you strength to attain dreams and goals.  Our body, our environment and every creature we see are gifts from God.  Therefore, it should be taken care of.   Humans, as the highest form of animal have great responsibility towards God’s creations, given more power and intelligence above all the creatures should be used to protect other creations.  Our physical body is a gift.  Therefore, good health should be maintained, it’s like taking care of the gift given by someone we love for it has a sentimental value.

We are surrounded by tangible material things that’s why it’s inevitable to be preoccupied with material desire that would result to misconception about the true meaning of richness in life.
