wisdom and fortune

This is some kind of thought that i been thinking for quite a long while . That whether one really should go for wisdom or fortune if one are only able to carry one .  This thought are particularly spur out from a person whom had pass away but may end up born as a pet . Originally this person are a person who had very nice fortune with friends and family from the outside perspective of others, yet because of ignornce this person may have done something wrong and end up born as a pet. Though  this person continue to enjoy the good fortune this person has (loved by the owners and friends) , but does it really worth it continuing its good fortune as a pet ?

On the other hand , if you look at other animals now. A lot of animals suffer from various issue be it in the form of sickness , no home , and worse of all beaten, harass and cruelly treaten by human beings. If you look at this perspective, a pet that is loved and care by the owner are indeed living in a good life of its own. But somehow deep inside me , i felt that maybe wisdom are maybe more useful as there is a saying that if you are not wise, even though you have a lot of gold with you, someone can just come in and walk away with your gold.

Perhaps what i fail to realise for this many years  is that you may lose what you have just in a single second. Thats all it takes to lose what you have own so far if you are not knowledgeable and full of wisdom.  

Between both of these, i love to carry both by all i can.
