Call No Man Happy Till He is Dead

A wealthy and healthy man is often considered as a fortunate person. In the eyes of others he is a happy man. They envy him for his wealth, social status etc. To them it is enough to make a happy. But misfortune can always befall a man; he may lose his wealth power and most of all his health. Without them he will be a burden to others. Those people who have envied him before will start to sympathise or hate him. The respect they have shown to him will be replaced by scorn; and envy by pity. Fate always plays an important role in everybody’s life. A poor person can turn rich overnight by a single stroke of fortune. Therefore no man can be called completely happy or sad till he is dead. Death puts an end to all the good and bad things in life. So if a man is rich and happy till he is dead, he can be called a truly rich and happy man. History tells us stories of many who have enjoyed immense power and wealth but lost it in the end to die miserably. Others had considered them to be happy and fortunate. But they proved to be otherwise in the long run making the proverb ‘no man happy till he is dead’ absolutely right.
