Albert writes:- My parents have left me a very rich legacy. It is honesty and 
uprightness. My father has come from a poor home. My mother too have come from 
a very poor home. Both of them came up through hard work. My father taught me 
to be satisfied with what ever one has .He retired at a very young age from the 
gulf. He came home as a happy  man never greedy for anyone's money. Lived a 
simple life and died a happy death. My mother had many virtues. Never rob 
someone was her teachings. Another thing she taught me is never keep hatred in 
one's heart. She had very few or hardly any enemies. Where ever she went she 
radiated love from God. I think by her behaviour she and my father too have 
spread the gospel of God. Today honesty can not even be bought from the market. 
A good life given by God has been replaced by greed, dishonesty and cheating. 
One cannot trust any one in this world. But what I cannot understand is the 
very same people who make money through evil source do not live to enjoy and 
even if they are alive they are not happy. I have seen lots of people who by 
their sheer position were able to make tons of money and old age has wrinkled 
life out of them and many of them are seen queing at the doctor's door 
practically everyday of their life. What was the use of making money when you 
cannot put your legs on an arm chair and say " I have earned the right way ? 
The legacy that my parents have passed it on to me has come to them from their 
parents. My grandparents from both sides were very very poor. My dad's father 
was a musician. My mother's father died at early age leaving them at God's 
mercy. Its not only when I look at my parents but also the parents who lived in 
my neighbour hood . They were equally honest. Lived with poverty but never 
cheated or robbed anyone. The love and affection that existed in those times 
should be rejuvenated .
