I am working as a director , the nearest position to the boss.
My boss is rich person , with that kind of money I will live the rest of life at 5 starred tropical beach hotel
But he invested and invested a lot of money to a foreign land and he gives himself a great headache,
Whenever I watch him I ask why this guy wants more and more ? He is arealdy in late fifty ,he thinks he can live forever?
in his house a foreign woman works , whenever she receives small monthly pay
I can see her great gratitude and real satisfaction, her salary isnt enough for my boss dinner desert.
I see a great irony, who is really happy?
a millionaire who is still discontent or a mexican woman who are content with her small salary cuz she can buy now her kid icecream?

It is called sin, my friend. Sin gives us the proclivity for greed and selfishness.

Yes,i can see the irony.
Yet even now susceptible people are being Taught(!) a
type of greed; have you heard of Darwinism?
The adherents of this believe that we can only get "better"
by letting the "best" get ahead; when they talk-of "survival"
as in survival of the fittest, whats really meant is that a "leader" or somesuch again takes up the ruling idea-EVEN
IF THAT IDEA OR IDEOLOGY WAS INCORRECT in the
first place(originally).
Or ; "our ideas are not working but lets survive a little longer
and all could be well"
Its hogwash,and we should be ashamed that our schools
and colleges offer little else!
And another thing; that greedy-and-selfish boss of yours
should be taught a lesson,which he didnt learn from his parents(obviously);And at his age that lesson should be that
the likes-of-him should not be held as some sort of good
ideal;he should be sidelined,and left to his anti-social ways.

Yes, he does believe he will live forever here on this earth and he will take what he feels is his because he knows that he can.
It is shame, but lets just look at the headlines today, Opha the TV talk host, gets paid 250 million a YEAR...oh my gosh, what on earth for. Why because she is a woman, why? What is the reason for this. I do believe that Opha gives a lot of money back to the world and community, but who on earth is worth that kind of money for any reason on earth.
Is she happy, I don't know, but I know that once you get what you want...for some reason we want more and more.
That's why I have a very big list of what I want so that I can never get it all....therefore I can still dream.

The lady from Mexico has it all over your boss. Anyone who has to get rich by not paying his workers a reasonable wage is swallowed up by his desire for wealth. It controls him. He doesn't control it. She controls herself and is content--kudos to her and you for noticing.

This is what keeps pushing us forward, otherwise we would still be in Africa, hunting and gathering.
