By Paulo Coelho
When he was a young man, Abin-Alsar overheard a conversation his father had with a dervish.
‘Be careful how you act,’ said the dervish. ‘Think about how your actions might affect future generations.’
‘What have I got do with future generations?’ said his father. ‘I won’t ever meet them. When I die, that will be that, and I don’t care what my descendants say about me.’
Abin-Alsar never forgot this conversation. All his life, he tried to do good, to help people and to carry out his work with enthusiasm.
He became known as a man who cared about others. When he died, he left behind him a large number of charitable projects which considerably improved the standard of living in his city.
He had ordered the following epitaph to be engraved on his tomb:
‘A life that ends with death is a life not worth living.’
