The Best of Life

| 12 April 2010
This spiritual message is worth pondering for. The story is about an affluent father and his son. They live in a big beautiful house full of paintings. Both father and son love painting and their collections are displayed in their home. For both father and son, the best of life is enjoying all the things they were blessed with and sharing with those who are in need. The irony started when the son has to attend to a military combat abroad.

After several months, the father received a notice that his son was already dead. According to the news, his son died in action while saving and carrying a wounded comrade in the military. The father wept and felt so sad when his son left him alone. His house became gloomy and his life was very much affected by it. One day, a man knocked in the main door of his house. The visitor gave him a painting of his lost son. It turned out that the visitor is the same person his son saved while in combat. The visitor painted the portrait of his son despite his lack of skill in memory of his kindness. The father offered to pay the painting, but the visitor declined. It was a gift for the old man out of gratitude for his kind son. For the visitor, the best of life can be showed in gratitude and respect.

The old man died leaving all his properties behind to his administrators. He left a will and testament asking his estate administrators to hold an auction for his paintings. All of his paintings are expensive, except for one, the portrait of his son. While in the auction, the portrait of his son was presented for bidding. No one wants to bid such painting. The people present in the auction hall wanted the other paintings to be presented for bidding. However, the auctioneer wanted only to present the portrait of the old man's son. Later on, someone placed a bid for fifteen dollars. The bidding was ended when only one really wanted to bid for the painting who happens to be the gardener of the old man. The auctioneer revealed that anyone who is interested of the painting will take all the property of the old man including all other paintings he owned. Indeed, the best of life is full of ironies and only a pure heart could unlock the mysteries.
