Dr. A. L. N. Moloantoa shares a profound analogy about a king who had four wives, drawing a parallel to the things we are attached to in life. He explains that each of us, like the king, is "married" to four aspects of life:
The fourth wife, who was cherished for her beauty, represents our bodies. We love and take great care of our physical appearance.
The third wife, who was beautiful and a source of pride for the king, symbolizes our possessions. We enjoy showcasing our material wealth and accomplishments to others.
The second wife, whom the king trusted and shared everything with, is like our close friends and family—the ones we confide in and seek advice from.
