There is enough in this world for all of us. Enough food to fill our bellies, enough shelter to give us peace, enough cloth to cover our virtue, enough kindness to pass around, and enough wisdom to outshine ignorance.
Dave is a single dad, after his wife died while giving birth to his daughter. He works hard for the future of his daughter and spends his days in loneliness meanwhile.
Dave and his daughter were walking down the street one day when her daughter pointed towards a mcdonalds and demanded a burger. Dave didn't had enough money to buy her anything; ashamed about their financial situation Dave told her daughter that they can't buy anything from there because they have rats in their kitchen. His daughter threw a tantrum; she said that why can't they buy anything from their if so many people are already inside the resturant? Dave quickly out menuvered the little girl and said "Tell me are there more people inside the resturant or outside the restaurant?".
Many years passed and as a 14 year old teenager Dave's daughter ran away from home. Dave couldn't live without her daughter and fell into a bad drug habit. After a year cops gave Dave news that his daughter has been raped. She was being kept at the police department waiting for him. Dave ran to his daughter's aid and brought her home with him. She didn't adjust well. She cried loudly all night for several nights until one day Dave couldn't hear her anymore. Dave went to check up on her and found her hanged from the ceiling fan. Next morning the neighbours found Dave's deadbody in his yard; seemed like he jumped off the roof head first. Soon after they also discovered his daughter's body. This is how it went for this Dave and many other Daves of the world.
Whose fault was it? Was it Dave who couldn't provide for his daughter? Was it Dave's daughter who couldn't understand her fathers situation? Or is it just the human condition to never be satisfied?. I think that money and happiness may go hand in hand for most people; however wisdom to be satisfied by our breaths and and hold fortitude in our hearts is of much higher priority.
