W8 D3- Investing In Future

A cobbler named Alam Moosa sat daily by the Kings Way and solicited his trade; he had at first a shady tree so he could work comfortably in its shade and chat with his customers while he worked. He thought life was so easy but Majid, the King’s broom-keeper had a quarrel with him. The reason? He didn’t get preference over riffraffs who waited for their shoes to be repaired or shined. So he decided to call on Haroun, the officer in Public Works whose only point of glory was his moustache that when waxed and tipped measured three feet.
Majid one morning called on him and praised him sky-high and asked for a favor. He wanted the cobbler to be shifted to a place where camels were shut up. Poor Alam Moosa cursed his bad luck. But King Haroun al-Raschid one day passing through the way found him at work and asked him to work inside his palace, near the window where he gave audience to the public and heard their grievances.
One day the King having heard so many complaints about the Public Works official sentenced him to be hung. The hapless man before his death passing by the cobbler asked what made him prosper. He said,” My grandfather,. His only glory was his moustache as grand as yours. So he got his neck broken. Before dying he warned me not to make my moustache any grander than what Allah had made it. He also warned, ‘ Just remain unnoticed from man’s envy and pride. So I took the trade of a cobbler.’ Since I obeyed his last words he took care to keep me from all harm.”
Because we don’t see what happens to all those who are dead it doesn’t necessarily mean they have nothing further to do. For example all those energy at their disposal and not used where does it all go to? I suspect they are still players in the infinite framework of Cosmos.
Future is where the present invests in loose changes of energy so death is merely a technicality.
