Wills and Estates can get intense and bring out the worst in some people. The beneficiaries will seem to feel entitlement over another person. Families can break down entirely over the contents stated in the will and never again communicate with each other.
Sometimes if people find out you are sick, they will say when you are done with that particular item, I would sure like to have it. The ill person will not give you anything because you are like a vulture looking over its prey. People who are sick or dying want genuine friends who are loving and caring, not greedy and conniving.
You have a union made in heaven with your brothers and sisters. All of you share the same blood and parents, and all of you are God’s children. All households have sibling rivalry but do not carry that into adulthood. Let it break your bond as brothers and sisters over material possessions and how they are distributed when your parents die. Remember, your children learn from your examples. Do you want to be treated like you are treating the person failing when you are dying? I think not.
People have a right to write their will however they want to. I have heard of people asking someone to tell another person to expose the sick person for them to include them in their choice. I have listened to people on someone’s deathbed say to them; please include me in your will. If you ever do that, you have gone too far, and greed has won over your soul.
I have heard of adult children clearing out a house and taking things that are still actually their parents for their use. If you are doing that, you are stealing from your parents. Your parents have raised and nurtured you for years and are entitled to your utmost respect and love in their golden years.
Money and greed are indeed the roots of all evil. Money does not love you, but it may consume your every waking hour if you let it. Brothers, sisters, and friends are the authentic Gold you better hang onto in good times and bad times, for they share your joys and sorrows. Money does not care about your satisfaction and suffering but can make you a sorry excuse for a human being.
God likes a generous, loving, caring, compassionate human being who cares for and respects people without wanting anything in return. Greed takes you down a dead-end road that you stay on forever. Be generous and loving to a fault.
