Prohhorov: Rich but lonely
By Gina Prohhorov
Great potentials
If you are good at something, consider yourself rich in that aspect.
If you are rich in material things, then you are definitely rich, too.
So if you consider yourself rich, then ask yourself these questions:
Do you have many friends? Do your friends insist on your presence in a party? Do your friends come from all walks of life or only those from your own level? Or perhaps even those who do not mind you at all? Do you make a lot of people smile at the mere mention of your name? Do you make people feel comfortable or do they have to hold their breath while you are around? Perhaps, even try to look at the sky and moon when you arrive?
If you answer, “So what! I know and I don’t care!”. Then you must be a rich and lonely human being on earth. Sad. To be human means, you can see, you can hear and you can feel. If you cannot feel that you are hurting people and you ignore your conscience, then you are not even a human being anymore. You are just one of the walking dead.
You are worse than a freezer which is a very cold compartment. At least a freezer is even run by electricity which energizes appliances to give life to people. You are a very cold freezer without the need of electricity! That is not normal.
Therefore, if things are not normal, better be on the right track. It is definitely not too late, it is great to be rich because you have the power to be able to make people happy. Imagine, you can organize parties where people can share wonderful and sad experiences .
You can lead a group for a good cause. You can have the power to help a friend in need. You can touch people’s lives with your kindness and generosity. You can employ people and give them the opportunity to raise their families well.
If your richness is in the field of knowledge and talent, then there are many more extra effort events that you can create to touch people’s lives. It does not have to be a big group, it can even just be for one single person a day. If you total that, that would be 365 persons in a year!
It is not worthwhile to be rich and lonely. Try to be rich and happy.
It is fun. Imagine if you surprise a friend who is a single mother, with a bag of groceries. Think of the tears that automatically drops from her eyes.
Enjoy your richness by sharing what you know and what you have!
