Happy New Year friends
Two days ago, my guest[family] and I were discussing life and finances so I threw a question to my brother, I asked him if his mother was critically ill and she needed a medical bill of 2 million Naira and that amount was all he worth, his businesses and portfolio is that amount, would he give it?

He said Yes that he would willingly give all the money and asked me if it was me, would I? My answer was no! and he said he knew I was wicked.
I had to give him an explanation of why my answer was No and the first statement I made was, Is he willing to sacrifice the life of 5 or more people to save 1 life?
You are a family man with a wife and child, you also have a father and siblings, you are the breadwinner of the family sponsoring others and you want to give out all your money to treat one person, what will happen after that? you will end up becoming useless because you won't be able to take care of yourself and talkless of others, he understood my points immediately and realized he made a decision out of emotions without thinking about the consequences.
I love my mother too but I won't make a decision that will jeopardize my life and the lives of others who are my responsibilities, this does not mean that I will abandon her in the hospital, there could be another way to save her without me going bankrupt cos if I gave it all out and in the end, she end up giving up the ghost or another scenario she got better, which money would I use to take care of her, a giver would now turn to beggar, she would not want such too.

I heard a story of a rich man who was critically ill and his wife and children sold almost all his properties while trying to save him, after 2 years of selling and paying for treatment, he finally gave up the ghost but by that time, the family had sold everything and had nothing more to sell, they used their house to collect loan hoping the man would get better and he would find a solution to it but he died and that was how they lost everything and after his dead, they had to leave the house as they could not pay the loan.
I do not know their mind but I know somehow they regret ever spending everything to try to save him knowing that he is gone and they lost every other thing including him...
In this life, we must weigh the consequences of our decisions, do not let your emotions get the better part of you, this is why it is advice that we must not act or promise people when we are too excited or angry or sad because our emotions are on the high at those moments.
