The excitement one gets with the news of receiving an inheritance is quite unlike any other news. The possibility of a large sum of riches (or even a small one for that matter) is a gift for which all one has to do is be known to the person who bequeaths those riches.
So now I tell you that you have to bequeath your riches to your future generations, what do you have to give them? How much is your money going to last? How many generations have you thought of providing for? 3 generations maybe 4? That's about 200 years if your 4th generation lives to be 90 yrs old! And what value would your money hold? 200 years ago a paisa was a lot of money; today it doesn't even exist (except in your bank account as interest accrued!).
So I ask you again, what can you bequeath you future generations that has just as much value or even more value than today? Your stories which tells them of their legacies? Your values which tells them of their beliefs? Their life which is passed on generation to generation through you genes?
What will you bequeath to your future generations?
