Not for sale

He was a very rich man. He went on upmarket holidays but everywhere he was alone. He could buy any girl he wanted but he didnt receive true love from any one of them. He bought a mansion but he couldnt find a home. Spent his money on pleasurable gambling but he never found the peace that came from indulging in pure nature. He went to expensive restaurants but he never experienced the humble pleasure of a home-made meal. He had a Mercedes but he couldnt find happy times in the car with family. He paid for a fancy party at a five star hotel but those mates left after the party. He had a mega Entertainment system at home but he didnt hear laughter. He had everything but he was a prisoner within his own self for freedom didnt exist in a shop. He became very old so he paid for doctors to take care of him but he couldnt see anyone around his bed...all those girls, mates, colleagues, party animals, mansions, clothes etc none of them were permanent. And companionship, love, home, peace, humbleness, happy times, family&friends, laughter, freedom and care were not for sale.

'the guy dat said money cant buy happiness

-Bo Derek
a header for a blogg i visited
Yeah ! it was the sexy kitten

on a serious note
to die u have to let go
let go of possessions, friends , relatives and then only u will die peacefully, if u cant let go

death will be prolonged and painful

Sharukh Khan said someting of dis sort on his mom's parting

'she wanted to go, i was trying to hold her back, i was being selfish'

Jim said...

How is this sad??

A person chooses between money and family...and if he/she chooses money over family and later regrets it..well thats his/her own fault.

Dewdrop said...

This reminds me of the old Mastercard ad. "Some things money can't buy, for everything else, there's Mastercard"

--pearl-- said...

Keshi said...

hehe ty southpaw :)

fira u aint miserable, atleast I hope ur not...hope all is ok with ya...

icy very well-thought of...I believe an average family has more happiness and bliss in their home than people who chase dollars.

eyezz the wise babe...like u said mithya/maya means delusion and temporary happiness...we should know how not to be over-induldged in these mithyas...the reason for misery is desire as Buddhism relates...

Gome I didnt understand anything u stated...what are you talking about?

hehe u think so marg_rev?

ty misty huggz!

Sebz thanks, but sometimes I wanna post quizes to make it not so dull...to get away from serious stuff :) But hey ur the queen of writing, I love ur style!

Saby why r u talking abt death now? lol the post was abt selfish, rich, lonely and single men like u hehehe :)

Tally plz translate... :)

Pearly n NV...I agree with Pearly as well as NV :) Both of u r right. Like NV says the man chose what he wanted, yeah it's his fault but the point is he chose money over everything...that's sad and that's what Pearly is saying.

lol Dewdy good one!

Pari hugggz and :A: thanks!

Deips yeah :) I mean if I put my heart into it, I write alright...if not, I suck quite royally lol!

Rex Venom said...

Sometimes people without money also miss out on life’s simpler and true pleasures. Sometimes those of us with love and happiness still honestly want wealth.
Basically, if you can be happy poor, you can be happier with cash. If you are sad while rich, you’d be even more miserable broke. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but neither does poverty.

Kerry M. Conway said...

blog party alert: kadams734.blogspot.com
hell yeah!

Keshi said...

very true Rex..I agree. Poor people crave for money. And people who have love and affection like us sometimes wish we had more money too. And some rich people like the one I mentioned in thi s post is love-deprived despite the fact he has money. Grass is always greener on the other side. But there are some people who live with a good balance...they are rich enough in every way...

Please Help, Seb and Keshi friends, as I need opinions from my small group of web poets and writers on opinions on my third post down in my blog, entitled "Every fret of my guitar is marked with a bruise from my life with it. I hope some day I'll remember them all."
I am planning a ridiculously hilarious expansion into an incredibly self indulgent piece but need opinions like Ice cream needs chocolate chip

Jim said...

here's some more




After 45 years of marriage, an elderly Sindhi man in Bombay calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 45 years of misery is enough!"

"Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says.
"We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!"

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone.
"Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."
She calls Bombay immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are not getting divorced.

Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow.

Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??" and she hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay", he says,
"It's all set. They're both coming for Diwali and paying their own airfare!!"
