The Four Lovers
Once upon a time there was a Queen who had four lovers.
She loved the 4th lover the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but theBest.
She also loved the 3rd lover very much and was always showing him offto neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one day he would leave herfor another.
She also loved her 2nd lover. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever the Queen faced a problem, she could confidein him, and he wouldhelp her get through the difficult times.
The Queen's 1st lover was a very loyal partner andhad made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom.However, she didnot love the first lover. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly tooknoticeof him.
One day, the Queen fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought ofher luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four lovers with me, butwhen Idie, I'll be all alone."
Thus, she asked the 4th lover, "I loved you the most, endowed youwith thefinest clothing and showered great care over you. Nowthat I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No way!" replied the 4th lover, and he walked awaywithout another word.
His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.
The sad Queen then asked the 3rd lover, "I loved you all my life. Now thatI'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"No!" replied the 3rd lover. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to love someone else!"
Her heart sank and turned cold.
She then asked the 2nd lover, "I have always turnedto you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd lover. At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave."
His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the Queen was devastated.
Then, a voice called out, "I'll go with you. I'llfollow you no matter whereyou go..."
The Queen looked up, and there was her first lover. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutritionand neglect.
Greatly grieved, the Queen said, "I should have taken much better care ofyou when I had the chance!"
In truth, you have 4 lovers in your life:
Your 4th lover is your body. No matter how much time and effort youlavishin making it look good, it will leave you when youdie!
Your 3rd lover is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, thesewill all go to others!
Your 2nd lover is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by youis up to yourGrave.
And your 1st lover is your Soul - often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
However, only your Soul will followyou wherever yougo. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for itis the only partofyou that will follow you to the Throne of GOD andcontinue with youthroughout Eternity...
Thought to ponder on daily: "Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees,You're in the perfect position to pray."
"Being HAPPY doesn't mean everything is perfect. It simplymeans you've decidedtosee beyond the imperfections. "

Hello, as the moral of the story gooesd the eyes that look are plenty but the eyes that see are rare, you are blessed with intelligence beauty and a good heart and you the spitting image of someone i knew a long time ago, she got stuck once when she moved to the uk after finding an excellent career here, first thing she did was to break my car, and tried to pay for the damage in dried mangoes. Nice to see you and chips again.
