Dealing with Greed

[Guest guest]

When it comes to dealing with greed, one thing which

is quite characteristic is that although it arises

from the desire to obtain something, it is not

satisfied by obtaining it. Therefore, it becomes

limitless and boundless, and that leads to trouble.

The interesting thing about greed is that although the

underlying motive is to seek satisfaction, as I

pointed out, even after obtaining the object of one's

desire, one is still not satisfied. On the other hand,

if one has a strong sense of contentment, it doesn't

matter whether one obtains the object or not; either

way, one is still content.
