It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shining, BMW -a long and slow walk. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk towards their home. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. Moved beyond words, the young executive tried desperately to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s really hurt and he’s too heavy for me.” “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” Tears were dripping down the boy’s chin as he pointed around the parked car. I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do”, pleaded the youngster. “That’s my new BMW, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. Mike jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. A brick sailed out and – Baaangg! – it smashed Into the BMW’s shiny black side door! SCREECH.!!!! Brakes slammed! Gears ground into reverse, and tires madly spun the car back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He was speeding in his sleek, black, two month old BMW Coupe. There was a very successful executive, Mike, traveling down a busy neighbourhood street. Often in pursuit of our material objectives, we are so absorbed and obsessed that we become oblivious about those important people that are near and dear to us and forget about our greater and real purpose in life. During this journey we need to be mindful of our ultimate destination.
