On Praying

By and large, the poor pray most of the time to get rich and the rich are too busy to pray unless their fortunes are dwindling. The sickly pray to get healthy and the healthy pray to get rich, more than to remain healthy. Parents pray for their children to succeed and their successful children pray to get rich, more than for their parents to remain healthy. Victims of natural disasters pray to be saved and the unaffected pray that they be spared, more than for the well-being of victims. The less fortunate pray for help and those who have been helped pray for yet more help, more than for the less fortunate. So, are we really sure we know what to pray for? ...

ps. pray "for", not "to". meaning of "pray, praying, prayer"? too many, let your intention and objective define it.
