Life Advice Looking Through A Window

Living in today's urban environment of cell phones, laptop computers, and other high-tech gadgets is not only stressful, but also impersonal. We earn money and then put that money towards making more money. Is there a conclusion? We are never satisfied, therefore we don't generally do it. How many times have we convinced ourselves that life would be so much better if only we had more money? But what if, after a significant rise, we find it wasn't enough and that we require more?

So, what are your options?

So I went to a local Rabbi and sought for advice on how to identify my real calling in life.

The rabbi gave me a nod and led me to the window. He said, "What do you see?"

"I can see people strolling to and fro, and a blind guy is asking for charity at the left corner," I said quickly.

The Rabbi gave me a kind nod and led me to a large mirror. "Now, take a look around and tell me what you observe."

"I can see myself," said the man.

The Rabbi gave a kind grin. "At this point, you can't see anyone else." The mirror and the window are both made of the same basic material: glass, but one of them has a small film of silver on it, so all you can see when you look at it is your own reflection."

My shoulders were grabbed by the Rabbi's arm. "Consider yourself in the light of those two shards of glass. You could see the other individuals without the silver coating and feel compassion for them. When you're covered in silver, you can't see anything except yourself."

I locked my gaze on the Rabbi. "I'm not sure what you're talking about."

The Rabbi went on. "Only if you have the bravery to remove the silver covering over your eyes and see and love others again will you become someone." He clapped me on the back and waved me off.

I've considered what he said and have come to the conclusion that he was correct. Yes. We require money and should not strive to live a life without it; it is futile and will only lead to future heartache for ourselves and our families.

Instead, I propose that we follow the Rabbi's recommendation. All we can see when we look at life through a silver covering is ourselves. However, if you remove the covering, you will be able to see and feel everyone else.

We are permitted and should be able to gaze in both types of mirrors in life, but we must remember that a mirror simply reflects ourselves; a window, on the other hand, is the gateway to compassion, health, and genuine prosperity. To put it another way, seek riches if you must, but don't allow it keep you from enjoying life, people, children, and the poor and needy.
