4 Boy friends*
Once upon a time, there was this girl who had four
boyfriends.
She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adored him with
rich robes and treated him to the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best.
She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always
showing him
off to neighboring kingdoms. However, she feared that one
day he would
leave her for another.
She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and
was always
kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl
faced a
problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her
get through the
difficult times.
The girls 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had
made great
contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom.
However, she did
not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply,
she hardly
took notice of him.
One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short.
She thought
of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four
boyfriends with me,
but when I die, I’ll be all alone..’
Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, I loved you the most,
endowed you
with the finest clothing and showered great care over you.
Now that I’m
dying, will you follow me and keep me company?’
‘No way!‘, replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked
away without another
word.
His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart.
The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, ‘I loved you
all my life. Now
that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?
‘No!‘, replied the 3rd boyfriend. ‘Life is too
good! When you die, I’m
going to marry someone else!’
Her heart sank and turned cold.
She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, ‘I have always turned
to you for help
and you’ve always been there for me.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?’
‘I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this
time!‘, replied the 2nd boyfriend.
‘At the very most, I can only walk with you to your
grave.’
His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the
girl was
devastated..
Then a voice called out: ‘I’ll go with you.
I’ll follow you no matter
where you go.’
The girl looked up, and there was her 1st boyfriend. He was
very skinny
as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the girl said, ‘I should have taken
much better care of
you when I had the chance!.
In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives:
Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time
and effort you
lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you
die.
Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth.
When you die,
it will all go to others.
Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter
how much they
have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you
is up to the
grave.
And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in
pursuit of
wealth, power and pleasures of the world.
However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you
where ever you
go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the
only part of
you that will follow you.

Powerful message, Vikki!
So true and yet so many people never stop to realize!
I had a friend in high school who’s Mother passed from Cancer. Her parents were very wealthy. When she became very ill, her Father went and bought her Mother all kinds of things... matching his and her Lincolns, new jewelry, etc..
As she got really bad, he asked her ‘what can I do?’ and she replied, ‘give me back my health!’
Unfortunately, none of them were concerned with her soul!! So sad. Not even her.
Wow Twink! That is a sad story.
I got this from a friend. I printed it and put it in my gratitude journal....

Hi Vikki and Hi everyone,
I sure agreed taking care of our soul is the most important thing. The next questions for you are :-
“Have you been taking care of your soul? And
“How are you doing that or planning to do that”
Thank you for sharing.
