God has given us a beautiful life and in this beautiful life, everything has been given in the right measure. We find so many problems in our life because we cannot balance that right measure in our life and we destroy everything by imbalance. If we become addicted to any one thing more than necessary, then other aspects become weak and everything becomes imbalanced. We must understand that everything in our life is necessary and everything needs a right measure. Just as we have to learn to abandon the right thing at the right time, we also have to know how to enjoy it, and we have to have the ability to create and destroy it. We have to control our delusions, greed, jealousy and envy. We may have likes and dislikes, this is a normal thing in our life, but if we completely exclude the thing we dislike from our life and become addicted to the thing we like excessively, it will never be good for our life.
There is a man living next to our house who is so addicted to himself and his own preferences that he does not care about anything else. Since most people are the head of the family, it is naturally his responsibility to take care of everyone in the family and meet their needs. But that man does not fulfill his family responsibilities properly at all. It is not that he is financially incapable, he earns a lot of money every month. But even if he earns, he spends all the money on building houses. The man is so addicted to accumulating land and houses that spending money on everything else seems like a waste of money. Even daily necessities, buying clothes twice a year, going somewhere, eating at a good restaurant seem like a waste of money to him. According to him, buying one to two clothes a year is enough. And eating and drinking at a good restaurant is harmful to the body. But it is not like he lives in a family where he does good shopping or buys vegetables. Eating and drinking in the family is very difficult. The shopping is not done properly, which results in shortages. But he keeps building building after building by saving that money.
But the people of the house do not say anything to that person or do not try to tell him because even after telling him many times, the person does not listen and he says that he will spend the money he earns as he wants. The person even saves money without taking his own medicine for a long time, and does not want to go to the doctor when he is sick. But since the person is a little selfish, he eats and drinks as he likes and buys only the fruits and vegetables he needs. Due to this selfish attitude of his, his relatives and children are very far away from his surroundings. The person is so true to buying houses, cars and land that when someone starts talking to him, he talks only about these and advises everyone to save money and buy houses and land without eating properly. The person has an addiction to living like a king, that is, like a landlord, by building a big house. However, his excessive addiction and cruel behavior have made him completely lonely day by day. Since he does not care about the needs of others except his own, his good and bad feelings, and is obsessed with building his house after seeing everyone suffer, his relatives are gradually breaking up with him because of this cruel behavior.
The old man has become completely alone, he always said that this house will see him in his last years, but can a house really see any person? I can understand very well from seeing this man that selfishness and addiction to anything beyond the need is not good at all. His children are very much hurt by his behavior, which is why they have distanced themselves from him. Leaving children and family members in need and not providing them with proper food and drink, only building houses is not a sign of a healthy person. If we do not eat and drink at the right time, no matter how much our body needs, our body will be damaged and our life expectancy will continue to decline. We will definitely die one day, but this house will remain on earth. These houses and properties will never go with us, so if we can eat and live healthily, then we will be able to live a good life for a few more days. Money, property, land are definitely necessary for us to survive, but we never need too much. If we become too attached to any thing and pay attention to that only and do not fulfill other responsibilities, then we will lose everything one by one.
