8. Possession and Happiness.

 

In one of Tolstoy’s story, there is a story like this. One man bet that he would give his land to anyone who steps as far as he could. Someone began to run as far as he could. Finally, the man returned to the starting point after stepping much area before sunset, Unfortunately, as soon as he arrived, he fell down and passed away. In the end, he can own only his feet as much as he can be buried. Jesus said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."  In other words, it’s not by the possession that decided happiness and unhappiness, or the longevity and shortage of life. Jesus said, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' The true way is to believe in God’s words and follow it. When we believe in Jesus Christ that words  becomes flesh, our spirit is revived, and we can get true satisfaction.
