we were joking our father that he is so out of the competition when it comes to the talks of the green thing called M O N E Y, baby! he and his younger sister are not in good terms for a very long time. his sister who turns out to be our aunt, despises us all, my father, my mother, I and my two other siblings. I don't know what's with her. ahee.
she has a daughter who is in the USA now, and I have no idea if she rains her mother over with money, and this aunt also has a son who is such a burden in her back. burden means-- she gets back home from her domestic helping in Cyprus, and pays her sons debts, pays his bail, and fights with him in the middle of the night waking up their neighbors.
When we said he is so out of the competition, I was amazed when he answered, "At least I have my peace of mind. My two eldest daughters have their own careers now, and the youngest is graduating this October. I can sleep well at night and anytime God will take me, I am ready. I have no angst or any unfinished business that I might mind when I'm dead because all of my children are accomplished."
Yup, nobody can buy a peace of mind. My father has also mentioned that any millionaires in the world would give up their millions if there is a merchandise called peace of mind.
A story also comes to my thinking. I have a co-member in our reading ministry who belongs to a political leaders family here in Iloilo City. His surname says so. He once shared that he is so thankful that eventhough he has no money or not in power like his relatives, everytime his head reaches his pillow, he sleeps immediately. Unlike his relatives, before getting into bed, they would first check if the windows and doors of their homes are locked, and if there is a gun under their pillows. See the difference?
Peace of mind is such a simple state that a person will have but getting it is having to get through many obstacles and do the right deeds.
