Profit
The word profit stands for gain. Traders buy low and sell slightly higher to make some profit. Any gain we make in life is profit.
Gaining the whole world is anybody's dream. Everybody expects to be better than the rest. They will go to any extend to outdo all the rest. Gaining is profit.
How Much Money Is Enough?
I seek the amount of money one can get and say it is enough. Nobody gets satisfied with the much they have. Their crave for more is insatiable. We keep seeking more.
Our search goes on and on. I love the person who picks $2000 on the road. Suddenly the amount of money becomes so small. They demand for more and more money. How is it possible that 10% tithe to the church is bigger than the 90% you remain with.
Three Brothers With 6 Tusks Of Ivory
it was an inheritance a diseased father left for his three sons. The sons were overjoyed and one offered to make them food.
As he went to the kitchen, he pondered how wealthy he would be if he received all the six tusks. So he planned to poison the food. The two brothers left behind also pondered how wealthy they would be with three tusks each. They ended up decided to do away with their brother in the kitchen.
When he came with food, no sooner had he placed it on the table than they fell on him and strangled him to death. Then they fell on the food and ate it hungrily. Soon they also fell down dead leaving the tasks behind.
The world is thus. We struggle to get all but end up either in a grave or ashes at the sea.
What will it profit a man if he gets the whole world and later perishes.
