I Only Came to Look At It
I have another Aesop Fable for you today ... and another story about wealth.
I don't know about you, but I find there's so much wisdom in these short tales.
Here we go ...
There was once a Miser who used to hide his gold at the foot of a tree in his garden. Every week he used to go and dig it up and gloat over his gains.
A robber, who had noticed this, went and dug up the gold and made off with it.
When the Miser next came to gloat over his treasures, he found nothing but the empty hole.
He tore out his hair, and raised such an outcry that all the neighbours came round to see what had happened.
In exasperation, he told them what had happened and how he used to come and visit his gold.
"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them.
"Nay," said he, "I only came to look at it."
“Then come again and look at the hole," said a neighbour; "It will do you just as much good."
The moral of this story is...
The true value of money is not in its possession but in its use. Wealth unused might as well not exist!
How true!
So, whatever wealth you have, consider how best to use it.
Enjoy your day!

It's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have.
