I like it. I short story about life, about meaning of life, about choices.

[Abeer Albossany · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked the idea of compering the material world to the spiritual, and how easily one can be attached to one of them. Moreover, the story goes beyond the material world and tried to explain how one may get some hints that he is about to die. It has good morals and interesting events even the end wasn't as heart-breaking as it would have been. However, what I didn't like, is the fact that he hadn't been satisfied with his decision of leaving all his money to the poor but more like forced to it.
