Unhappy about life ~ fable

This has arrived in my email recently ~ a good reminder of what's truly, truly important in life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A young man was complaining about being poor. One day, a wise man heard him and asked:

- So you seem unhappy with your life, because you have no money?!
- Yes, sighed the young man.
- Are you healthy?
- Oh, yes, I can be very proud of my health!

The wise man held his hand and said:

- I offer you 10,000 for this hand and 1 million for your eyes.
- God forbid! the man exclaimed
- Well, can you see now how much 'wealth' God gifted you with?! Stop complaining: you have everything you need to make a living. Be happy!

    Sigur că acelui nemulţumit nu-i fusese niciodata rău, nu-l duruse nimic, spre ex, hipotensiv fiind , sa-i mai fi scăzut tensiunea, aşa, spre 70--80 , să fi făcut o mini-criză de bilă, spre ex după o masă mai copioasă sau normală, dar să fi mâncat ceva ce nu i-ar fi priit-- sau o criză de lumbago, după ce ar fi stat in frig sau intr-o poziţie aiurea, etc-
    Altfel, ar fi apreciat acest dar --sănătatea--şi abia apoi s-ar fi plâns că e sărac.
    Bănuiesc că târgul propus l-a dezmeticit, pentru că nu i-aş fi dorit să primească vreo lecţie " pe viu".
