Alexander the Great 3 dying wishes!!! A thread of lesson!!!

Some days before his death, when he sensed the end is near, the great General called his commanders and made three wishes to them.

First, he wanted them to make sure that his physicians (doctors) are the...👇👇
...ones who will carry his coffin to the grave when he dies.

Second, they were to see to it that silver, gold and precious stones from his vast treasury were strewn on the paths his casket would pass.

Third, they must ensure his two hands are kept dangling out of the coffin...
His commanders were astonished at his requests and they asked further for the meanings, Alexander obliged with the following explanations; His physicians should carry his coffin because he wanted everyone to know that doctors are powerless and cannot save anyone in the face...
...of death.

Gold, Silver and other precious stones should be strewn on the way to graveyard for people to know that though he spent all his life amassing wealth, not even a grain of gold will go with him to the grave.

His hands should be kept dangling out of the coffin...
...so that everyone knows that just as he came empty-handed into the world, so he’s going empty-handed out of it.

Alexander died at the age of 32, he didn’t even believe in God but he knew everything is vanity. So, whatever you are rushing at, always have it in mind that the...
...end can come at anytime and nothing will matter except how you lived your life, the people you impacted, the love you showed, the kindness you gave, the charity you did.

Remember, everything is vanity on the long run.

Good morning ☀
