Here is a tale about putting things in perspective.

A rich man wanted to show off his new car, so he parked it oustide his office.

As he got out, a truck came along and completely tore off the driver's door. He
called the police and five minutes later, an officer arrived. Before he had a chance
to ask any questions, the man started ranting hysterically.

"My car is ruined! It'll never be the same again!"

When he finally stopped, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.

"I can't believe how materialistic you are," he said.

"You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most
important things in life."

"How can you say such a thing?" screamed the rich man.

The offficer replied: "Don't you even realise that your left arm is missing?
It got ripped off when the truck hit you!"


"My god!" the rich man exclaimed in horror

"Where's my Rolex?"
