Don't envy people that you don't know the source of their Wealth

If you have a roof over you, eat 3 square meals daily, able to afford clothes and pay your bills, you don't know what God has done for you.

You should be content with that and not try to look for a way to get money that won't give you peace of mind.

There was a young guy who was living comfortably, he was blessed with peace of mind that he could afford things that make life comfortable for guys, he rented an apartment and furnished it well and he is earning enough to take care of his bills but he was not satisfied.

His problem started the moment he began to envy his friends who lavish money in different locations on a daily basis at night and he loves the way hype man do praise them at parties they attend together because of how they spend.

He also wanted to live such a lifestyle so he threw caution to the wind and decided that no matter what it takes, he was going to find out how they make their money and also join them so he can be spending lavishly like them.

They warned him against it when he ask them to show him their source of income but he already made up his mind and when they realized he is indeed not going to heed their warnings, they told him it was a ritual they did, and even though he was scared when he heard it but that lavish lifestyle he wanted to live blinded him that he agreed to do it too.

They fixed a date to take him to the herbalist, when they got there, the herbalist did it for him as he did for his friends, and the Taboo is that he must not sleep in from 12 a.m till 4 a.m every day or else he was going to run mad, he was damn scared when he heard this but there was no turning back.

Now he knows the reason why his friends are always partying in the night, it is because the same taboo applies to what the herbalist did for them.

Few days after the ritual, he became freaking rich, and as expected, he joined his friend in lavishing money at night parties and having fun so that they won't sleep.

It was going well until one day, he hooked up with a girl in one of the locations they went to have fun and the girl wanted to dupe him so she added a sleeping tablet to his drink in the hope that he would sleep and she will be able to steal some money from him.

Just as planned, he began feeling sleepy around 2 a.m. and he tried hard not to fall asleep. Still, it was all in vain, he slept off, the lady stole the money and ran away, he woke up by 6a.m and the first thing that came out of his mouth was a loud cry, he knew he was doomed and yea he was really doomed because he runs mad immediately.

He was not satisfied with his old lifestyle and he ended up putting himself in a bad situation, he enjoyed the blood money for a short period and suffered madness for the rest of his life on earth, was it really worth it?

Nice short story @burlarj
Getting success or the hunger for success is different from comparing it with someone’s else lifestyle or when you envy someone and you make it your goal. That’s definitely going to take you down.

Yea, and many youths are like this nowadays.

They don't care about the source of income of their peers, they just want to be like them.

The devil won’t give you something and let you enjoy you for a long time, I guess it was his time to pay back with his life and hence the sleeping tablet saga

Money ritual??? People can be so desperate. But then, is this idea of getting money from rituals real? Still skeptical.

Do you believe there is black soap that attract blessings to those guys doing yahoo?

Do you also believe there is charm to make someone run mad?

Do you believe in charms at all?

If your answer is yes to this

Then you got your answer to the money ritual thing too

Your caption says it all, we tend to put pressure on ourselves without knowing the source of people's income we just want to be like them.

Chaii
That's why we have so many mad people these days. Some people may think that it is the effect of drugs but it is a lie. It is simply because of things like this.
Make God help us

This story makes me think of people who get too much debt relative to their personal wealth; they mismanage the money and it drives them mad.

As always, another good read Burl. Have a wonderful day!
