Let's live the present to the fullest
Fanny Rodríguez
SUMMARY: A journalist interviews a wise man and asks what surprises him about humanity. The wise man responds, "That they are bored of being children and want to grow up fast, and then want to be children again." He also shares life lessons, such as the most valuable thing in life is not what we have but who we have, and that money can't buy happiness. These lessons can be found in the Bible and following Jesus' example can lead to a full life. The key to finding wisdom is through daily reading of the Word of God and cultivating a life of communion with the Lord.
A journalist interviewed a wise man and upon entering the room asked him: "What surprises you the most about humanity?" he replied: "That they are bored of be children and want to grow up fast, and then want to be children again. Let them waste health to make money and then lose money to regain health. Who long for the future and forget the present, and thus do not live neither the present nor the future. May they live as if they were never going to die and die as if they had never lived. "
The journalist was silent for a while and said: "What are the life lessons that people should learn?" And with a smile he replied: “Let them learn that they cannot make anyone love them but rather let themselves be loved. That the most valuable thing in life is not what we have but who we have. That a rich person is not who has more but who needs less, and that money can buy everything but happiness. The physical attracts, but personality falls."
