FEBRUARY 2023 50 LAST WORD b i n d a i n a@b a t e l c o . c om . b h Brig. Mohammed Bin Daina ur life is a mixture of our orientations and desires on the one hand, and our reality in which we live on the other, and whenever an individual is influential in his society, integrated in his concerns and hopes, in harmony with his individuals and groups, he feels happy and satisfied. Some may see something missing in this combination, which is that whenever an individual lacks money, he does not feel happy. And here is the whole point, because there are people who have money, but they are very poor. If money is essential in managing our life’s affairs, then it can never be everything and the starting and ending point in all aspects of life. Yes, it is a means of value for a better life, but there are other elements that may be more important in many stages of a person’s life. For thinkers and scientists, the mind is more important and nourishing it with scientific ideas and theories and thinking outside the box has priority. For poets and people of art, the heart is more important and purifying it from all impurities is required. Having money should never be at the expense of the normal life of human beings, as it is not an approved testimony of arrogance and superiority over human beings. Having money is your way to improve your society, help its children, support them with everything you have, and provide them with the services they may need as long as you are able to do so. As long as a person remains convinced that he is still crawling in his field and is still in the beginning stage, and he has many worldly sciences in front of him that he has not yet delved into, and life lessons that he has not yet realized. As long as this is the case, he is on the right path. Take the example of the world famous Russian writer Tolstoy, who considered himself “at the beginning of beginnings.” In short, blessings are in many cases intangible as happiness does not depend on the amount of things you possess, as much as It will be in the way you see the surrounding life, and the love you get from those around you. This will not happen unless a person changes his concepts and responds to the saying of the American philosopher and psychologist William James, “The greatest discovery of my generation is that a person can change his life; if he is able to he changes his mental attitude.” O Mentalpeace isparamount Ifmoney is essential in managing ourlife’s affairs, thenitcan neverbe everything andthe startingand endingpoint inallaspects oflife
