A man had a weird dream. He was in a luxury store. Looking for a pair of socks and a necktie. He found them. Priced at Rs. 12,000 and Rs. 18,000 respectively. Then he noticed a sweater for Rs. 20,000 and a pair of jeans for Rs. 40,000. Astonished at these prices, he looked for a salesperson. One was standing in the watch section. Staring in dismay at a Rolex watch marked Rs. 200. The man looked into the section’s glass showcase. A diamond ring was on sale for Rs. 50.
“What’s going on?” he asked the salesperson. “How can a Rolex sell for Rs. 200 and a pair of socks for Rs. 12,000?” The salesperson replied, “Someone broke into the store last night and changed the price tags on all items. Everyone is confused. A lack of value is evident in people’s actions. It is not uncommon for them to spend a lot of money on things of little value. They don’t seem to know what’s really valuable.”
The man woke up startled and confused. And realized our lives are like this dream. Maybe someone stole into our lives and changed the price of everything. Maybe they marked up the value of Competition, Position, Titles, Fame, Promotion, Ego, Money, and Power. And put huge discounts on the value of Happiness, Family, Relationships, Peace of Mind, Contentment, Love, Knowledge, Kindness, and Friendship. Maybe we are all living this dream…
