Did you think you were rich?
old man and young man

A young man asked an old man about wealth, and he said:
The haste of youth is a calamity
The patience of youth is wealth
The hasty
The goal of everything is death
They sought wealth but did not care
They are partners in evil
They sought life but did not care
Their goal is bliss
How many hasty people have tasted affliction
And lived without it
How many hasty people are in prison without shelter
Seeking to achieve their demands
But it is a veil
He took paths seeking
What does not last
He sought wealth but poverty did not last
He feared his salvation
So his devil came to him
From it calamities befell him
He said: A ransom for his desires
That ransom did not benefit him
He said: Disobey your Lord and wait
for what is in it of bounty
And if you become rich, then repent
Contemplate... Wealth will come to you
And if you become poor, it will not
make you happy
And if you seek safety, wealth will not
come to you
Indeed, those who They avoid
Sins.. They are fools
And the advice of Satan
What temptations bring
And whoever follows them, they lead him astray
And temptations please him
And when wealth spreads its wings
-It becomes easy for him, longing grows
O you who equate poverty
Wealth is a distraction
O you who complained about poverty
Poverty of the heart is a disease
O you whose poverty has ended
O you who are sad.. Wealth has come to you
O you who are led by wealth
The atmosphere is gloomy for you
Did you think you were rich
No! You are in distress?
Did you think you were comfortable
To live in prosperity forever?
What the sheikh said frightened him, so he said: Will wealth come to me? The Sheikh said:
Wealth is the lot of humans
How many people are rich because of it
Some wealth is underground
That comes with wealth
Some wealth actually flows
That comes with work
Whoever attains it has risen
And it is the sky
The best thing that the chosen one hopes for
And purity surrounds him
And if men meet him
It is pleasant to meet him
And if that one is rich, he disappears
And that one appears hidden
And if the soul is rich, he chooses
His wealth meets purity
And if the devils are harsh
His wealth is harshness in him
And if he is rich, your wealth
A day in which lunch is good
And if he has transgressed against you
Poverty.. the enemies have attacked

True wealth is in those things that are timeless, the things not seen or easily grasped but we neglect them because instant gratification is a thing. Lots of themes you explored on this one!
