Desire is boundless, greed is boundless

Once upon a time there was a mountain with a magical hole in it, and the treasure inside was enough to be enjoyed for a lifetime. But this cave is only opened once in 100 years.

A man who inadvertently passed by that mountain happened to encounter a rare opportunity to open the cave door in a hundred years, and he excitedly entered the cave to find that there were a large pile of gold and silver jewelry inside, and he hurriedly and quickly packed it into the bag, because the cave door could be closed at any time, he had to move quickly, and he had to leave as soon as possible.

When she triumphantly filled a bag of jewelry, she walked out of the cave with a happy look. But he found that the hat was forgotten inside, so he rushed into the cave again, but unfortunately the time had come, and he disappeared without a trace with the cave.

The story is simple, but intriguing.

Greedy people, pulled by desire, boundless desire, boundless greed.

Greedy people are slaves to desire, and they are busy and busy under the drive of desire, and they do not know the whole time.

Greedy people often have selfish intentions, are preoccupied with calculations, and are preoccupied with calculations, but in the end they get nothing.

Man cannot be without desire, otherwise he will lose the motivation to move forward, but he cannot be greedy, because greed is a bottomless pit, and you will never be satisfied. The Soviet educator Makarenko once said: "Human desire itself is not greedy, and if a person comes from a smoky city to a pine forest and sucks in fresh air, he is very happy, no one will say that he consumes oxygen too greedily." Greed begins when one person's needs are in conflict with another's needs, and arises from the necessity of snatching pleasure and satisfaction from the hands of others by force, cunning, and theft. ”

A poor man will lack a lot of things, but a greedy person will lack everything!

Poor people need only a little thing to feel satisfied, luxury people need a lot to satisfy, but greedy people need everything to satisfy. So greedy people are always dissatisfied, they live in the pain of dissatisfaction every day, greedy people want everything, but in the end they are empty-handed.

There is a parable:

God did not make feet for the centipede when he created it, but they could climb as fast as a serpent. One day, when it saw that antelopes, sika deer, and other animals with feet were running faster than it was, it was very unhappy, and it said jealously: "Hmm, the more feet, of course the faster it can run!" ”

So he prayed to God, "O God! I want to have more feet than other animals. ”

So God granted its request. He put many, many feet in front of the centipede and left it at his disposal.

The centipede couldn't wait to pick up the feet and stick them to their bodies one by one, from the beginning to the end, until there was no more place to paste them, and then it reluctantly stopped.

It looked at itself contentedly, full of feet, and whispered in its heart: "Now I can fly out like a sword!" But when he first started running, he realized he couldn't control the feet at all. These feet went their separate ways, and he had to concentrate on them in order to make a large number of feet, without knowing how to stumble over each other, but quickly move forward. In this way, it is walking more slowly than before.

Nothing is more, the merrier, because of greed, wants to have more feet, the result is counterproductive, stirred into a rope that binds its actions, the price can be described as heavy.
