Transcript

Navigating through life can bring unexpected challenges and hardships and sometimes we find ourselves at rock bottom.

Such was the case for a young man who squandered his inherited wealth only to realize that his fortune had attracted false friendships that vanished along with his money.

Feeling desperate and lost,

He turned to the master,

Seeking guidance.

What will become of me?

I have neither money nor friends,

He lamented.

The master's comforting words carried a glimpse of hope.

Do not worry my son,

Trust my words.

All will be well for you once again.

Eagerly the young man inquired,

Will I regain my wealth?

The master's response was unexpectedly different.

No my dear,

Instead you will learn to adapt to a life without riches and the solitude that accompanies it.
