INSURANCE I MET this youth nearly three years ago. He was then studying for his senior B.A. I happened to meet him again yesterday. He had just taken out a Life Insurance Policy.
"You are so young; why were you in such a hurry to get yourself insured?" I asked casually.
He replied, “Life is so uncertain; who knows how long I have to live: In case of my premature death my wife will have something to fall back on.”
“Life is uncertain—as fragile as glass,” I agreed. "Since you realise this, I hope you have not neglected to spend some time in meditation and in doing charitable deeds.”
He was visibly irritated by my question and replied rather sharply, “But am I so old that I must think of all such grave matters now? There's plenty of time for all that!”
