Learn the true value of Life.

There are many wealthiest or richest persons in the world, some say billionaires or others say millionaires. But there are also so many ways or stories behind of how they made it or reached that highest peak sooner or later. They can also be categorized into many types. But let me just focus on these, who are kind and selfless and those who are merciless and selfish.

There are some who saves the huge amount of money into their saving accounts in various banks so as something that can be called as a treasure for their 3,4,5 generations who really doesn't know whether he can really make up to his next generations. Who can give guarantee to the life. Right?? This is just the 2nd part of selfish nature of wealthy persons.

But on the other hand, there are like this kind, generous and selfless Philanthropist  "Bill Gates". William Henry ‘Bill’ Gates with an estimated wealth of $65 billion is as rich as two Kenyas, three Trinidads and a dozen Montenegros but is now engaged in the process of ridding himself of all the money in the hope of extending the lives of others less fortunate than himself. The 57 years old Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have so far given away $28 billion via their charitable foundation, more than $8 billion of it to improve global health. He now intends to eradicate polio in the world. 

“We’re focused on the help of the poorest in the world, which really drives you into vaccination. You can actually take a disease and get rid of it altogether, like we are doing with polio,” Gates told. “Polio’s pretty special because once you get an eradication you no longer have to spend money on it. It’s just there as a gift for the rest of time.”


The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will spend $1.8 billion in the next six years to tackle polio. “All you need is over 90 percent of children to have the vaccine drop three times and the disease stops spreading. The number of cases eventually goes to zero.”

“When we started, we had over 400,000 children a year being paralysed and we are now down to under 1,000 cases a year. The great thing about finishing polio is that we’ll have resources to get going on malaria and measles,” Gates said.

It's not only that Bill Gates has excess resources (money) but he has a big heart too for others especially towards poor. Not all the wealthiest or richest persons give their helping hand as him. As we know, he has done numerous of huge charities for various causes in many countries. And I say this is how the rich and wealthy person should do, help the poorest of the world. If every rich people does even a bit of charity, then I think there won't be so called poverty  in this world.

For those who are born or are poor, be satisfied with what you have , at least we have a bed to sleep at night and a blanket  for the cold and windy night, whereas there are some in the world where they sleep on the roadside, footpath or street without even with what we called blanket. At least we have some clothes to wear whereas they have none, we have at least 2-3 meals a day whereas there are some who starve so hard even for a meal per day. We have at least a house to shelter us during storm, hot or rainy season but they have none and have to go through all these severity.

 But for those who are wealthy, this is your opportunity to think once again about all those blessings you have received from God and help the needy people. Yes, we need money while on this Earth, but I don't think we need it or should have it in excess, one may easily fall into the devil's trap , so beware with what and how much you have or from whom and where it came from. 

And for those people who are good at taking advantages of  weak person. Don't you and me know that when we snatch from others, they are suffering because of what we did. Because of our shameless deeds upon them, some their families are broken, some they starve for their living, some their children are deprived from good educations and many others. But here we are, pretending to live a luxurious life at the cost of other's life. Don't this means that we are broad daylight thieves, no better than those night time thieves with whom we seems to hate or bash them when get caught. I should say they are better than those broad daylight thieves because at least they steal from those who have in excess, as they are in the poverty line. However those broad daylight thieves are the ones who tries to snatch or steal from those deprived or poor innocent people.

 I just wanna ask you, what do you feel when you build a beautiful house and lives in it, when you eat healthy food, when you travel by luxurious vehicles or dress up in your finest clothes and look in the mirror....mirror?? did I say it mirror?? Yes I did, do you see yourself??? So do you feel Proud of yourself or Shame, with what you have because of how you have it or from whom you snatched it.

 If we are to be ashamed but not, then we are such a shameless creatures. Shame on us, actually we really don't have a place on this Earth but in the Hell. But if you are Proud of yourself because of your good and right works towards humanity, then we salute and bow to you. We respect you. May you live long to continue with your good, kind and selfless nature. Let everyone follow your footprints.

 Dear, don't we know that none can take away anything with us what is saved or treasured on this Earth when we die. If you wanna save it, save them in the above in His place called Heaven by helping the needy and poor people. Do some charity works, not to show off others about your wealth or duplicate face but to let others know how much you have been blessed by God so as others may praise the Almighty above instead.  All these so called fame and money are just for temporary. Let's try to create "LOVE"' in our heart, so that we learn to give but not to take away from others. Oh Lord, let your Will be done. Amen.

 “I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!”
