This parable is a great warning. It reminds us of how precious the time is, and how meaningful the life of each person is. It teaches us not to neglect people, regardless how meaningless & trivial they can seem to us. Because nobody seems like this to God. I saw people like that rich man. I saw know people who tried to arranged their lives passing by the wrecked, the weak, the helpless, and dreaming to arrange their lives at their cost, abandoning them & forgetting them, being carried away by their well being & bright prospects...But I also saw how in ended. God save me from this "prospect"! I also know that it depends on me. Only on me. On how I will live, think, how i will forgive, and how I treat people. O Lord, put me on the right path! Thank you, Father!
