They say that poverty sucks; when there is no money for travels, children’s education, car mortgages, and house payments as well as good relationships with others. It is further aggravated when one has no one who is wealthy and powerful to look to for help.

Yet, there are people who have everything and yet feels that every day sucks.

A story goes like this;

There was a businessman who came into the city to look for a wise old man who was renowned for his wisdom. He asked the old man, “ Sir, I need your counsel. Though I am wealthy I don’t seem to receive good treatment wherever I go. Life is quite a series of battles. When will my days become good days?”

The wise old man replied, “You have to stop your battles then your good days will come! To this advice, the businessman was puzzled and was none the wiser. He left in disappointment.

A few months later, his mood became worse. He quarreled with everyone and hurled abuses at them.

Having made many enemies, he became drained of his energy after a year and stopped having disputes with others.
