There are seasons in our lives, we have got to prepare for them or else we will be bereft when they show up. It’s no secret that the flip side of joy is sorrow, health is sickness, birth is death, youth is old age. Every other conundrum is caused by greed. We need to ask ourselves when is enough not enough, and why must one suffer so the other can live a life full of excesses? We came empty handed and we will leave empty handed. Wealth is not transferable to our cadaver when we die, you know it, I know it, we know it.
