Caring as a cure for greediness

What is greediness?

Greediness is when you believe so strongly in something that you only want to see it that way. You believe so strongly that you do not have enough of something, that you will go out searching for proof and confirm your belief.
You believe so strongly that what you say is true, you will start looking for something that can prove you are right.
You believe so strongly that you should have more of that what you want, that you start believing that it is O.K. to take what you need from what others have.....

The only way to prevent that from happening is to cultivate a sense of caring for others.

You would be surprised how good it can feel to see the smile on the face of a person you meet for the first time. The simple act of saying hello with a warm, caring, smile will illuminate the persons face.

You have the choice to become a dictator, obsessed with this goal to attain, crushing who-ever, whatever gets in the way.
Or you can become a loving, caring person, inspiring other people to help you accomplish your dreams without loosing yourself in an entertaining ritual of pleasing others for short-term benefits, exploiting others.I have found my inspiration in my teacher's life, in heroic caracters like superman, even some political or religious people are on my list.
Do you know somebody like that?

Just like in this Christmas Carol, We need to keep our eyes and mind open enough to see what surrounds us,what really surrounds us.


Are you really going to wait till tommorrow to grasp your opportunity to realise your dreams?
Greediness is not what will help you accomplish your dreams!
Caring for other people is what will create the momentum for all the good things that will happen around you.

In Greek and Roman mythology, the word hero was used to describe (wo)men whose courageous actions brought favors from the gods....

whether you believe in "a God" or "Gods" does not matter...read the same phrase without the last 3 words....

Are you courageous enough to be a caring person? ! I dare You!
Are you rightgeous enough to deserve the favors? ! I dare you!
Are you ready to be your local hero?!! I dare you!
