If your necessities are met, you should be thankful to God…
“If your necessities are met, you should be thankful to God for your life. Human expectations are endless. If one is ignorant of contentment in life, he would relentlessly be after wealth regardless of his necessity. He might even indulge in ruthless ways to fetch them. We must look around and see the struggling fellow human beings just for the sake of keeping their ends meet, and realise how lucky we are!”
