A King and His 4 Wives - A Queen and Her 4 Husbands
King and his 4 wives Once upon a time, there lived a king who had four wives. The king got seriously ill and was on his death bed. Afraid to venture into the afterlife alone, he asked his fourth wife whom he loved the most and bought her diamond, gold and elegant clothing — “Would you die with me? And go with me to the afterlife?” The fourth wife replied with a sorry saying she can’t do that and walked away. The moral of this story is that we all have four wives. Our fourth wife is our body. We like to decorate it with nice clothes, sexy hairstyle, nice jewelry but in the end it cannot follow us to the afterlife. Our third wife is our possessions. We spend so much time gathering our possessions — Car, house, guitar, DSLR, gold. But in the end they can’t follow us to the afterlife. It will be given to other people and divided. Just like the third wife remarrying. The second wife are out friends and family. We trust them, they’re always there for us in times of need. But the farthest they can go is the funeral and send us off. Our first wife represents our soul. We usually neglect taking care of our soul. That is the thing that will follow us to the afterlife. Care for your body, keep it healthy. Enjoy your possessions and the comfort they provide. Cherish your friends and family for the love that they provide. But don’t forget to take care of your soul. Nourish your soul. Spend some quality time with you. Spend some alone time. Take time to pray, take time to meditate. Because it is the source of all our life and and our most faithful friend.
