One day, a dog found a bone. He was so happy. He held the bone in the mouth and walked happily to a hidden spot nearby. While he was crossing a bridge, he saw another dog with an apparently bigger bone in the mouth beneath the bridge. The dog, being greedy, jumped from the bridge immediately trying to snatched the bone from another dog. Upon hitting the water, the dog was greeted with splashes of water. The bone he has was gone, the shadow was gone. He went home hungry.
Postscribe: If I were the dog, I would put down my bone on the bridge before jumping down to get another one.
In life, we probably need to have the basic, secure, stable fund that feed us before we can try to have something more. Greed, sometimes, can motivate us to aim higher. But, the problem is the method used and the attitude. Some people forgot to keep their hearts in place while using their brain in fullness.
'Why do we care about others?' They ask.
'Why can't we be selfish?' They ask.
'Why are some good people suffer and you still want me to do good?'They ask.
'How can we achieve what we want without using tricks?' They ask........
My friend could only cry at the regression.
If you have an answer, we would like to hear from you.........
