When he was about to do it, a filthy beggar approached him. "Sir, please give me some money to buy some food. I will pray for your health and long life."
"All of this?"the beggar repeated. He could not believe his very luck.
"Yes, take it all. I am going to a place where i wont need it anymore," said the man. He looked back at the river below.
The beggar felt suspicious with the man's attitude. Looking at the money, and holding it for a while, he hurriedly returned it and said, "No thank you, i wont take it. I may be a beggar but i am not a coward and i am not going to receive any money from a coward! Bring that money with you to the river sir!"
Hearing his response, the man was very shocked. The satisfaction and happiness of him giving his money to the beggar vanished instantly. Even to make the beggar receive his sincere soon-to-be-useless money, he was not able to.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the feeling that he felt just now, that good feeling and satisfaction from giving others happiness, had indeed in turn became his own true happiness. By this he was enlightened, and had found what would make his life worth living.
Happiness is only real when shared
