Passing Through

A reporter went to the house of a famous rabbi for an interview. He noticed that there was no furniture aside from a small cot in one corner and a bookshelf in another. The rabbi had lived there for several years.

Curious, he asked the rabbi, “Where is all your furniture?’”

The rabbi paused, looked back at the reporter, “Well, where is your furniture?”

The reporter had a puzzled expression “My furniture? But I’m just passing through here.”

The rabbi nodded “So am I.”

Everything in life is temporary. Nothing lasts. Wherever we are right now, we are just passing through there during a phase of our lives. So, we might as well enjoy it while it lasts.
