Mr Greed, the Evil.

I have written an article about an Emperor, who award his General, who had fought very hard for him, all the land he can covered with his horse. This General rode his horse day and night , rain or shine and in poor health and when he was at his death bed , he realized he only need a piece of land 6ft by 6ft to burn him. By then, it was too late.

This is Greed and most of us is greedy and the urge to have more is very strong. We always look for opportunity to make money and on the way, we lost even more. We fight to win more bonus or to gain promotion at the expense of our relationship with our colleagues and at the expense of our health. The urge to have more move the world business and most of us fall into this evil trap.

We do not need more to survive , we only need “enough” and be contented with what we have. But, some people will disagree. Why can’t we have more ? This is our choice and our life. More money , bigger house, bigger car, good food motivates us and make us happy. Why can’t we have all that ?

We should not judge, unless we want to be judged by other people. Yes, this is correct, it is our choice but whether our choice is the right path or not. On the other hand, right or wrong , it does not matter. At the end of the day, it is still a life gone. Unless, you can prove that there is another life and the merits or karma we accumulate can be brought over to the next life. If there is another life ? How sure are we?

Nothing is for sure. There is no religion in the world which can prove that they are the way or the truth. We have only to believe and there is no way to prove which religion is better or more absolute than the other.

So which horse do we bet ? There are so many type of religion. Finally, it comes back to our choice and which is a better bet ? It is only our perception , our upbringing and our experience and influence by our peers or loved ones. We choose to wear the clothe which fit us and make us more comfortable. Yes, everything is a bet but as long as we are happy and well, it is our choice.

Namaste.
