Part of the point was that the real treasure the boy received was the journey. He gained self-worth, valuable world skills and met the woman of his dreams. He saw parts of the world he never would have dreamed to see. Merely giving him the treasure where he used to sleep with his sheep would have been worthless. It's like the people who win the lottery. They are ill prepared for the sudden changes in their life that come with that much wealth. They usually end up broke a few years later - their lives shattered. I have even heard some say that they wish they had never won the lottery. Such is the way with life. If everything came easy, well, then we wouldn't really appreciate it. <br /><br />But what I got out of the book the most was the idea that maybe we are all interconnected. And that maybe when my gut tells me that what I am doing is not the right path, I need to follow it. I am sorry the book didn't live up to your expectations.Tripp Hazardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897497204956695802noreply@blogger.com
