The last wishes of Alexander

The last wishes of Alexander :
On his death bed, Alexander
summoned his generals and told
them his 3 ultimate wishes:
1. The best doctors should carry
his coffin;
2. The wealth he has accumulated
(money, gold, precious stones)
should be scattered along the
procession to the cemetery, and
3. His hands should be let loose,
hanging outside the coffin for all
to see.
One of his generals who was
surprised by these unusual
requests asked Alexander to
explain.
Here is what Alexander the Great
had to say:
1. I want the best doctors to carry
my coffin to demonstrate that, in
the face of death, even the best
doctors in the world have no
power to heal.
2. I want the road to be covered
with my treasure so that
everybody sees that material
wealth acquired on earth, stays
on earth.
3. I want my hands to swing in
the wind, so that people
understand that we come to this
world empty handed and we
leave this world empty handed
after the most precious treasure
of all is exhausted, and that is
TIME..
