What is It?

A old man lay dying. When all his children gathered for the last farewell, he looked at them and asked, "Is everyone here?" They all affirmed that everyone was present. With a troubled look he asked, "So who is taking care of the store?" -Milton H. Polin I like this joke precisely because it is so untrue.  When life reaches toward the end money and accumulations and responsibility cease.  What is important and the end of life ought to be important all our days. Question: What is it?

A Story on How to Fix the World

A young boy was having problems putting together a difficult jigsaw puzzle map.   His father made no attempt to interfere.   A few minutes later, the boy rushed in and proudly announced that he had done it. “How did you do it, son?” “It was easy dad.   On the other side was a picture of a man.   I put the man together and the world fell into place.”   - Milton H.
