يكصد و پنجاه درس زندگى - مكارم شيرازى، ناصر - الصفحة ٨٤ - Lesson eighty four Two things cause destruction of people

Lesson eighty four :Two things cause destruction of people

Imam Ali( A. S. )says:

أَهْلَكَ النّاسَ إِثْنانِ خَوْفُ الْفَقْرِ وَ طَلَبُ الْفَخْرِ

Translation

Two things destroy people: fear of poverty and seeking for fanciful honors!.

Brief description

If we consider the causes of increase in transgressions, larcenies, briberies, thefts, short weighing in different forms as well as irregular greedy and plundering attempts of most people, we find that above two factors have a deep effect on occurrence of these events. Some people, having everything, commit offences only for the fear of poverty and as they say for securing the future, and some others sacrifice the peace of their life and soul for acquiring fanciful honors, while they would live peacefully if they leave these two ugly taints.
