You will reap the benefits of your sacrifices
in later years, when you go and look in your
regret basket and find nothing there.

Those of us with consciences are sometimes
cursed by their constraints, but look around
at the many who have no such barometer
to gauge the differentials between Id and Ego
Ying and Yang, Generosity and its Antonym.

A sacrifice, no matter how little or great, is a
personal bank from where we gift the gratuity’s
and pieties which enable others to survive.

One need look no further than the origins and
reasons for the worlds first bank which was
Banca Monte Dei Paschi di Sienna, enabling
a peasant society to develop with security.

We are all bankers , some people charge
interest, others expect it, yet more decline it.

The person who considers, what their shadow
is covering and depriving of light, will never
find themselves in darkness.
