Greed and Ambition

There is a fine line between greed and ambition.

We all have wants,dreams and ambitions. Some of us want a better future for their kids. Some want to borrow other people's things so that we can try it out for ourselves. Others just want to ask money for whatever they would need money for. I get that. It's natural for humans to desire things.

Now with regards to desire, there's also too much of it. Enter Greed. What is greed, though? Greed is defined as "excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions." Now, that's a dictionary talking. Here's how I define greed.

Greed is whenever a person is given something, they look for something else or

something more. Greed is when you have second thoughts sharing your things.

Greed is locking yourself out from the world just because you feel so either separated from everybody else or talented about something to a point you're not willing to mingle with others. Greed is when I am not happy for someone else’s achievement. This is what greed means to me.

Of course, being humans that we are, you might give out rebuttals such as "Person X has a lot of money and is supposedly helpful, he should give money more!" or "Person Y should have this because he is poor and has no work." Let me ask though, if a man is rich or has a lot of money, is it supposed to be automatic that he should be giving out free food or cash 24/7? Also, what makes you say that a person has a lot of money nowadays? Is there a certain chart or statistic that determines this? Honestly, it's not easy to earn money these days what with the limited jobs and minimum payouts. Which brings me to person Y. First off, why is person Y poor? What put him in that status? If the reason is no job, has he even tried looking for one? If the reason is no education, then why didn't he go to school? A person can get over his limitations and stature with dedication and hardwork, not with dependence on others or hanging around your local area all day.

I know some of you will argue with me all day and all I have to say is, it's a fine line guys. It's really up to you to balance yourself out. Learn to respect others so that respect will be given unto you. Simple as that.

Personally, I'm gonna start blacklisting the "abusive" people in my life. They need to learn the balance of things and they should start respecting not only me but as well as other people.

You Know Who You Are.

Peace Out.
