The root of GREED!!!

Greed!!!
What does the word mean?
Desire to want something more and more. Guess everyone carrying it within ourselves. But what matter is how you control it. You can want this and that but make sure there is a limit. Some people wishing this and that everyday. When the open their eye they start thinking i wish i can...These people started themselves with small wishes and turned it to greed. i wish god will fulfill 3 wishes each day. that such a annoying statement. Because all those wishes are for his/her own self, that why it been called as greed. I remember what my dad thought us when we went to temple. He asked us, "why are you going to temple, and what are you going to say in front of the Buddha statue?" The question stunt us. Later he told us " when you go for prayers, never ever wish for something, never ask for favor, instead go with gratitude. Thanks for our well being, thanks for our healthy body, thank for our happiness, thanks for our happiness."
on that moment, i learned the meaning Gratitude from a person who never been any Dhamma lesson before. That's why, Dhamma is universal. everywhere, everyone,everytime there is the Dhamma.

So people who have such a good life, please be gratitude on what you are having now. Stop asking this and that. if there God exist, He will never grant wishes for such a person. Share your happiness, do more charity, this world, there is cause and effect. One day we will ripe what we seed. Whether it will be fruitful or rotten is depended on you! You make you own choice. HE can't make the choice for you. Plus if HE exist, HE would not like HIS creation giving HIM so much problem. HE has play HIS role, how about you? have you? Think about it.
