The Four Wives – An Inspiring Old Tibetan Story

red-sun

Here is a very old and inspiring Tibetan story (and one that couldn’t be more relevant for our busy, disconnected lives of the modern world):

Long, long ago when the world was young and the tiger walked with the deer, there was a rich king who had four wives. The king loved his  fourth wife the most and adorned her with riches. He also loved his third wife and was always showing her off to neighbouring kingdoms. However, he always feared that she would leave him. His second wife was kind and considerate and his trusted confidante and advisor in difficult times. Wife number one was devoted and loyal and although she loved him deeply, he was not as interested and tended to ignore her.

One day, the king fell ill and the truth dawned that his life was soon to end. He thought of the luxurious life he had led and feared being alone when he died.
