outward growth might be a subtle window to poverty (and emptiness) inside, nurture compassion and you feel alive. Comparisons are all in vain, we all lived in different pasts and contexts that determined health and wealth.5/5 thanks for these grappling lines

This simple satire was written to provoke my wife. She is the Finance Minister at home and has talent enough to run the show with whatever I earn. She is a homemaker and knows the value of money, but never complains

Cont.2.... And this comparison spoils everything, HEALTH is WEALTH it only look good in Proverbs and Books not in real life. I am happy to know that you have GOOD HEALTH (Touch wood) . Keep going the way you are.5**** for this thoughtful poem.

Money isn't the most important thing in life; if you are happy with what you do for a living, you are rich in the things that count.

We need to find richness in everything we have; not in what we have not. And lead a rich life

Written with humour and irony, this poem relates to lives of middle class whose dreams to posh living may remain unfulfilled.But you are living a worthy and healthy life, don't worry wife's grumbles.

If she does love you for who you are, it's unforturate but you don't need those things if you have love

The story about my wife is, but, just fiction. She is a much content person. Knows to live within our means, without any complaints

It's very easy to tackle your boss but very difficult to deal with your better half. In many cases, one needs to act, compromise and face the situation tactfully. I think you are capable of overcoming this temporary disappointment.

What you said is true. But what I narrated here is just a figment of imagination. Thank you

Your wife is just blind to your richness which is life, health... Good poem

As I have just explained, the story is imaginary. But the message is not.. we, all of us fail to see the real richness, much beyond gold and the greenbacks
