A poor man's wish !

A famous priest was addressing  a  large crowd.He  told the  public that they should be hard working. They must aspire to be  sincere and  honest. After the meeting he questioned  the people what do they wish for in their next birth. Some  said that the they wished  to be a Doctor to serve humanity. Some wanted to be a teacher to  spread  knowledge. Many wanted to be Engineers to serve the country. The priest saw a poor man  standing alone in a corner. The priest  called him and asked him what did he desire for his next birth. The poor man replied,"I want to become a security guard in the house of some very rich man." The whole  crowd was surprised. The priest asked him the reason why he wanted to be only a security guard.. The poor man replied," I am a petty  thief, a pick pocket. I  want to be a security guard, so that I can lay my hands on the rich man's wealth and live in peace the rest of my life".
