TOO MUCH GREED BREEDS EVILS ???

“Once upon a time a farmer had a hen which used to lay a golden egg everyday. The farmer used to sell those eggs and was gradually becoming rich. In greed of becoming rich at once he thought – why not tear open the hen and take out all the golden eggs and sell them all together? So he killed the hen, and discovered nothing from its stomach. He felt very sorry for this misdeed but it was too late by then. His greed made him lose both the hen as well as the eggs which it used to lay everyday.”
Many might argue upon the truth of the story but the essence of the story is absolutely true and can be seen in our day to day life. Man is a SOCIAL ANIMAL and has many DESIRES – desire of name and fame, desire of wealth, desire of good life partner, etc. But all these desire changes into greed once we adopt the wrong path to achieve them and harm others. Too much of greed like that of the farmer absolutely breeds evils, like in him.
How many of us don’t demand extra pocket money from our parents in the name of various false projects? Is this not our greed which forces us to do such evil acts? Many of us even take loans and even steal things to fulfill our greed.
We must follow our desires, but adopt the right path to achieve it and must not only find the QUICK FIXES to achieve them.
