Greed

When we were Standard 3, RM10 was alot. During Form 1, RM50 was quite an amount. We came to University, minimum RM100 must be in the pocket. Are changes made according to our needs? Or simply, some may say, greedy? As we grow, we are exposed to a wider society, with more options. In return, we may learn not to spend like water, we may not. Henry Fawcett said, "Many . . . attach to competition the stigma of selfish greed." The moment we landed on Earth, there was this greed hidden in us, down to the journey of our life. Since baby, we wanted food, love and care. We cried when we were not comfortable, we cried when we were cold. Even fight for the former position of power, when there was a change of position order among siblings. Greed lives in us, does not matter what we do. The only difference is, it can be active, or passive.
