A Priceless Gift

in #newslast year

Imagine someone unknown comes to visit you. They shake your hand, hand you the keys, and say that it's your new car - take a look at it through the window. And then they leave.

You approach the window and look down. There's a brand new Lamborghini standing there. You're in shock. It's unclear who gave you this car. And the motives are unknown.

You are so scared of this gift that you never even sit behind the wheel. You never maintained the car, never took care of it. You just forgot about it and lived your normal life, occasionally glancing at the car outside your house with regret.

However, after 10 years, the unknown person visits you again. They are disappointed to see that the car is dirty and covered in rust, and it looks old due to being parked for so long. They are upset because you didn't appreciate their gift.

Well, let's get back to reality. Of course, you will say that if someone gave you a Lamborghini, it wouldn't have ended up the same way. You would drive it. Let friends take photos inside. Regularly maintain it. Wash it daily. Right?

But what if we replace the Lamborghini with your body and mind? Your physical body with hands and feet. Your state-of-the-art mind without any issues or deficiencies. How do you treat these gifts?

Are you sure they are not being wasted, covered in dust and rust "by the window"?
