What did Alexander the Great say on his deathbed?

On his deathbed, Alexander the Great summoned his generals and said, ' After my death, you will fulfill my three intentions. My first wish is that only my doctors will carry my coffin. My second intention is to scatter my acquired gold and silver along the path that my coffin will take to the cemetery. And the last intention is to keep my hands hanging outside the coffin while carrying the coffin.' His general then asked him why he was doing this strange thing. Alexander said, ' I want to leave three lessons in front o the world with a sigh. 

 

(1) I have asked my doctors to carry coffins for this reason so that people may realize that doctors cannot cure a person. They are powerless and unable to protect themselves from the clutches of death.

(2) The second lesson is to scatter gold and grains on the way to the graveyard to show people that we should give our all to others before we die.

(3) I have asked to spread my hands outside the coffin to let people know that I am leaving the world empty-handed. I have spent my whole life getting state, wealth, fame, but I can't take anything with me. Let people understand that running behind all this is a waste of time.

=) And so let us love and cooperate. We gain a lot of respect and prestige by spending our whole lives behind wealth. But with death, all our esteemed property is of no use. For example, we can talk about Alexander the Great. He had a lot of power, but he realized that he could not carry his influence with him after death in his last years. And that is why he ordered his general on his deathbed to fulfill his three wishes. The first wish was that his doctors carry his coffin after his death. By saying this, doctors can never save anyone; only God can save people. His second intention was to spread his gold on the way to the graveyard. By saying this, he means that his wealth will not go with him after death.

 

In the same way, your wealth will not go with you after your death. So, you should use your acquired resources properly to survive. And Alexander's third intention was to hang his arms outside while taking his coffin to the cemetery. By saying this, he means that he is going to the grave empty-handed and can't take anything with him. In the same way, you cannot take anything with you after your death. You have to leave the world empty-handed. So, let us help and cooperate in happiness and sorrow. The current world economy is in recession. In fact, many people are now economically broken. So let's help each other financially. Let us all fear God. As a result, we will become dear to God. Today's education will be useful to us in the way of life. Many thanks to everyone.
