Wealth increases but Life shortens

Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuhu.
Imam Al Ghazali [May Allah have mercy on him] said...
“You should not neglect your time or use it haphazardly {!}
on the contrary, you should bring yourself
to account, structure your litanies
and other practices during each day and night,
and assign to each period
a fixed and specific function.
This is how to bring out the spiritual blessing ('Baraka') in each period.
But... if you leave yourself adrift,
aimlessly wandering as cattle do,
not knowing how to occupy yourself
at every moment,
your time will be lost...{!}
It is nothing other than your life,
and your life is the capital that you make use of to
reach perpetual felicity in the proximity of
Allah the Exalted {!}
Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel,
since each of them is irreplaceable and,
once gone, can never be retrieved...{!}
Do not be like that deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases while their life shortens {!}
What good is an increase in wealth when life grows ever shorter ?
Therefore be joyous only for an increase in
knowledge or in good works {!}
for they are your two {2} companions
who will accompany you in your grave
when your family, wealth, children and friends stay behind.”
{'Subhan Allah'}
