Grains and Wealth
Grains and Wealth j It is said that a prayer made with a pure heart is always accepted. Once, a wealthy merchant was traveling on horseback. He carried with him four bags filled with precious jewels and genuine pearls. His purpose was to sell these treasures and use the proceeds to buy goods for his trade. However, during his journey, he lost his way and ended up in a vast desert. Though he possessed immense wealth, he had very little food or water with him. In his flask, there was only a little water, which he drank as soon as he entered the scorching desert sands.

The Consequence of Greed
Snowfall had turned the lush green trees of the forest completely white. It was the heart of winter, and as soon as the snow began to fall, a deep silence spread through the jungle. The animals who had wisely stored food before the cold arrived were now resting comfortably in their homes, eating and drinking without worry. But those who had made no preparations were shivering in the freezing weather, wandering around in search of food.

She Washed Her Hair With Coca-Cola. AI-Generated.
Ayesha never planned to wash her hair with Coca-Cola. It wasn’t part of a dare, a trend she proudly followed, or a scientific experiment.

The Chronos Counter
Arthur's mornings tasted like stale coffee and regret. Each tick of his wristwatch was a tiny hammer blow, reminding him of what he hadn't done, what he wouldn't do. Forty-eight years. Most of them spent hunched over spreadsheets, the pale glow of a monitor reflecting the dull ache behind his eyes. The city outside his window, a blurred charcoal painting, offered no solace. Just more proof of endless, relentless forward motion, dragging him along, ready to spit him out at the inevitable end. He’d tried mindfulness, meditation, even some self-help audiobooks promising to unlock his inner potential. All they did was make him feel like he was wasting precious, dwindling minutes.
