Nothing is permanent

Youth isn’t permanent; pleasure isn’t long lasting; Wealth too is like that; everyday is a flood of misery; don’t think these are forever; prepare daily for salvation like the farmer who produces seeds for next season. இளமையும் நிலையாவால்; இன்பமும் நின்ற அல்ல; வளமையும் அஃதேபோல் வைகலும் துன்ப வெள்ளம் உளஎன நினையாதே செல்கதிக்கு என்றும் என்றும் விளைநிலம் உழுவார் போல் வித்துநீர் […]

    I liked the wisdom you had shared. Wealth mean nothing when death called. We are the leftover memories of our children. If we teach them well. We hope. They teach their children well.

        Old Native American saying. Us Grandparent have a important job, We are the teacher of the future. We must teach the children well and what is right and wrong. In their eyes we are their teachers and example. True wealth. Laughing and smiling children at your feet in old age.

        Same for me. Three Grand-boys with me three days a week. We must teach them the lessons we were taught. Today I heard my grandfather voice when I speak and I pray. I can be like my dear Grandparent who raised me.
