NLP Adding Brilliance

Story= " A man called Mullah Nasrudin Hodja , once went to the village near Khartoum. There were several villagers assembled under a big Banyan Tree. It was mid-afternoon, and summer heat. The presence of a crowd did not surprise Nasruddin ,but he pressed on further to see whatever was happening.

A young man was arguing with an old-villager, who seemed in tattered clothes well over years of wisdom,aged 78 years. The young lad said: " I am the bread-winner now in the family of twelve members. Now that you are old and of no use and have also feeble memory, you should go out and feed or look after yourself.I will care for you no more now." Old man replied :" My son, do not throw me away yet , for I may bring you more help in times of your need."

But, the young lad was stay-put ; and would not yield even to theVillagers gently helping in the discussion to why the Old-man should not be thrown out of the house he so lovingly built and nurtured,............

.........PLEASE help me in completing this story, as it will be a wonderful seen sharing. God Bless you all.

Now the Mullah, by virtue of his training was an astute business man and financial adviser to the elite.

He pointed out to the son that he might one day be obliged to pay 40% Inheritance Tax if his father's estate was worth that much after having to sell his assets to pay for expensive nursing home fees given his decline in physical and mental health.

Better to get rid of the old man now, and if the villagers were that concerned for his welfare, they would see to his needs.

So the son did as advised. Unfortunately, the community did not care as much as it claimed to. What they really wanted was not to have the responsibility, but to see the son bear the burden. So they gathered at the Banyan Tree lest the old man found them at home.

No one knows what happened to the old man.

When the son turned 75 he committed suicide, as he was aware of his fate at the hands of his own family.

Moral (if there is one) : Live cheaply, and own nothing of value. That way you might just be more of an asset to your family than one of financial acquisition, and they might let you hang around a little longer.
Such is the way of the Sufi (maybe).
