Four Wives !

Once upon a time...................

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife

the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and

always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is

always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person,

always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the

merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she

would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.

Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made

great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as

taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was

going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"Thus,he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart.

The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so

much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me

company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and

you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again.

When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry,

I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most,

I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you

no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was

his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from

malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have

taken much better care of you while I could have !"

===================

Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives .......

The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we

lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die,

they all go to others.

The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they

had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest

they can stay by us is up to the grave.

The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit

of

material wealth and sensual pleasure. Guess what ?

It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go.

Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our death bed to lament.

that dirtbag has a lot of nerve having FOUR wives and then expecting them to die because he's dying...he shouldn't have cheated an any of them

having multiple wives in some culters is normal, even here in the states there are many many people who have multiple wives, even though it's against the law they still do it. some, as a sign of wealth and power, etc.. and some that actually love each other and it works for them.

In some cultures polygamy is common. It's not considered cheating to them.
