Once upon a time there was a princess
Who had four boyfriends.
She loved the fourth boyfriend
the most and
Adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of
Delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.
She also loved the third boyfriend very much
And was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she
Feared
that one day he would leave her for another.
She also loved her second boyfriend. He was
Her confidant and was
always kind, considerate and patient with her.
Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he
Would
help her get through the difficult times.
The girl's first boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had
Made great
contributions in maintaining her wealth and
Kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend.
Although he loved
her deeply, she hardly took notice of him!
One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short.
She thought
of her luxurious life and wondered, "I now
Have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, will I be all alone?'
Thus,
she asked the fourth boyfriend, 'I loved you the
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 fourth boyfriend,
and he walked away
Without another word.
His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.
The sad girl
then asked the third boyfriend, 'I loved you
All my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me
And keep me company?'
'No!', replied the third boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When
You die, I'm going to marry someone else!'
Her
heart sank and turned cold.
She then asked the second boyfriend, 'I have always turned
To you for help and you've always
been there for me.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?'
'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this
time!', replied the
Second boyfriend. 'At the very most, I can only walk
With you to your grave.'
His answer
struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the
Girl was devastated.
Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you.
I'll
follow you no matter where you go.'
The girl looked up, and there was her first
Boyfriend. He was very skinny as
he suffered from malnutrition
And neglect.
Greatly grieved, the girl said, 'I should havetaken much
Better
care of you when I had the chance!'
In truth, you have four boyfriends in your lives:
Your fourth boyfriend
is your body. No matter
How much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will
Leave you when you die.
Your third boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth.
When you die, it will all go to others.
Your
second boyfriend is your family and
Friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the
Furthest They can
stay by you is up to the grave.
And your first boyfriend is your spirit.
Often neglected in pursuit of wealth,
power and
Pleasures of the world.
However, your spirit is the only thing that
