A Ghanaian living abroad recently shared a thought-provoking perspective online, challenging the common belief that owning properties signifies success. Instead, he emphasized the importance of family above all else.
According to him a good or responsible life is about the way a person “organises his family”.
“The fact that you have properties doesn’t mean you have lived a good life. A good life involves family. My father looked after my siblings and I so I can say that he lived a good life. When he died, none of his children exempted himself. But some people think it is about buildinhg houses or having properties.”
The individual conveyed a powerful message questioning traditional views of achievement. Contrary to the idea that wealth equals success, he argued that merely possessing material possessions does not bring true fulfillment.
Instead, the expatriate stressed the significance of strong family bonds, asserting that nurturing relationships with loved ones should take precedence over acquiring wealth.
His message struck a chord with many online, sparking conversations about cultural values and personal fulfillment.
