On the Faithlessness of the World

My son, this world is no eternal kingdom, and you should not hope for loyalty from it. Didn't the throne of Solomon, peace be upon him, scatter to the wind at dawn and dusk? In the end, didn't you see it all blow away? Lucky is the one who left carrying knowledge and justice. In this world, only that person won the prize of fortune who cared for the ease and comfort of the people. Those who gave freely are the ones whose lives counted, not those who only hoarded wealth and then left it behind.
