Greed…

Have you ever wondered why you just cannot stop taking and taking something, even though you have already realized; that you already had what you needed? Why are people pushed to do something, that they wouldn’t do logically? What is this urge? Where does it come from? Why do we suddenly find ourselves being controlled by it?

A person can be wealthy – he can have lots of money, equity, be happy, he can be easily making more money not putting much effort into it. He realizes that he needs to safely store it somewhere, so he doesn’t lose what he acquired. He feels like he won. At this time he should just walk away. Walk away with this feeling of a win, accomplishment. But he doesn’t do it, why? This money came easy to him, can’t he see that it just might as easily leave him? Why are people so greedy? Why?…

Why do we keep on fighting and feel bad for ourselves, the situation that we ended up in, even though it was our own choices that got us there? We feel strongly that it’s injustice, that we do not deserve this. In our little minds we are placed on a pedestal, above everything else, even above ourselves. Self Righteousness… is this where greed comes from?
