There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives
He loved the 4th wife.
He took great care of her
and GAVE THE BEST.
He also loved the
3rd wife very much.
He's very proud of her &
always wanted to show her off…
TO ALL HIS FRIENDS.
However, the merchant is always in
GREAT FEAR that she might run away with some other men.
He loved his 2nd wife a lot.
She is a very considerate person,
ALWAYS PATIENT and in fact
“MERCHANT’S MOST CONFIDENT.”
Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always HELP HIM OUT AND TIDE HIM THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES.
Merchant's 1st wife is the MOST LOYAL PARTNER and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household.
However, the merchant
“DID NOT LOVE THE FIRST WIFE” and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant FELL ILL.
Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me.
But when I die,…..
“I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"
Thus, he asked the 4th wife,
"I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No way!" replied the 4th wife
& she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart.
Sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife,
"I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No!" replied the 3rd wife.
"Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!"
The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife,
"I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."
The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
Then a voice called out :
"I'll LEAVE WITH YOU. Also I'll FOLLOW YOU
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO."
The merchant looked up and
there was his 1st wife.
She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said,
"I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !"
Actually we all have 4 wives in our lives,..
Which one is MAN’s
FOURTH
WIFE
OUR FOURTH WIFE
No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making to look good, IT WILL LEAVE US WHEN WE DIE
THIRD
WIFE
OUR THIRD WIFE
When we die,
THEY ALL GO TO OTHERS
Which one is MAN’s
SECOND
WIFE
OUR Second WIFE
No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive,
the furthest they can stay by us is..
..UP TO THE GRAVE ONLY
FIRST
WIFE
OUR FIRST WIFE
OUR SOUL
The REAL WIFE
But …often neglected
in our chasing of
Material Wealth and Sensual Pleasure.
“It is actually the only thing
that follows us wherever we go.”
Perhaps this is the TIME to cultivate & strengthen it now
Rather than to wait until
we're on our DEATH BED .
WHAT Should
I DO ABOUT This
The Least we can do is
LET OTHERS
KNOW
