Our authentic self is our everything. We should preserve it at all costs.
The Secret and most of the new-age authors say that the world is in a conspiracy to give you all that you wish to have. The truth can’t be further than this. I feel the world is in a conspiracy to trample upon all that you truly wish to have. The society is in a collusion to not let you be yourself nor let you have things that do not measure up to society’s standards.
Stingy people live a difficult life. Planned frugality is a quality, but helpless parsimony is not. Minimalism is a quality, but inability to spend when you want something and have the resources too, is a curse.
Being able to spend handsomely is a great quality. It’s a trait that the genuinely prosperous people are blessed with. A study reveals that on an average people die with 75 percent of their net worth intact. Generally they leave it for the posterity. As if the posterity is not capable of earning on their own! Jim Stovall’s book THE ULTIMATE GIFT is a great pointer to understand how giving your property on a platter to the next generation can do more damage than good.
