'Greed' is not intellectual or logical in nature. Its psychological
And what about those 'projected returns' figures that never materialised?
And what about Earth's limited capacity to sustain unlimited needs?
And what about that huge desert in Iraq where once a great civilization flourished?
And finally what abt - "There is enough for everyone's need not for everyone's greed - MKG"
Intellectuality is not the only angle of looking at things. Try it out with any woman !
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoGreed is not the cause. The natural result of being greedy would be that one would have avoided all of the mines to begin with. While Boesky committed a serious crime in my eyes, his 1986 speech actually contains some good stuff. "I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself". Greedy people don't like to lose money. It's only when greed is mixed with stupidity and a lack of self-control that it becomes a bad thing.
- mtanva 17y agoIf you have differentiated between greed and need and follow it, then its fine. Problem solved. But the problem is that it doesnt stop at 'a little bit of greed'. Lets have some more! Its not about avoiding mines. We could go about drilling mines on the moon. The point is this - 'Consumerism thats out of control. A need not unlike that of a child and that too which is ever growing (fuelled by ever-growing population). Its about growing up to be true producers - like nature'
- BrentRitterbeck 17y agoThe term "mine" was meant to be "landmine".
- mtanva 17y agoSorry to have misunderstood it. But i think we are talking the same thing. What u call 'a little bit of greed', i call need. And it might be a bit different for everyone, coz only the person will decide how much is enough for him.
