RE: Hungry For More
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
When it comes to being greedy and selfish, I think it is only one way. You are greedy or selfish. It is what it is. There is nothing like badly good, lol. Although that’s the picture we try to paint these days.
When it comes to something that affects us positively, it’s not greedy unless it is at the expense of someone else in a way. So, do what you need to do to keep growing, just don’t be only concerned about yourself all the time.

Hmmm interesting thought. Instead of having them together you are treating it as different things which isn't wrong (if I understood what you said, correct me if I'm wrong). I think there are ways it also overlaps; it really depends on the context! It also depends on perspective too. Everyone has different opinions so something one person might see as selfish/greedy might not be to somebody else and vice versa (think like abortion for example) is it selfish to have a baby at 14-16 or to abort it because the girl shouldn't have to have a kid so young. It's hard to say sometimes in these situations and of course there's just so many factors that have to be considered in those situations like financial and stuff; I don't think there's a right answer?
What do you consider positive haha. If you are gambling and you won a ton of money wouldnt this affect your life positively? For example, someone already won like $100k (this is big money a bit life changing) but then they double down and lose it all wouldn't that be greedy? (of course this is a bit extreme scenario but just to help make my point)
For sure, there's only so much one can keep growing by themselves. There's things to be learned from others as well.
You’ve asked really good questions but what I’ll say is, we know what is right. When you are in any of these situations that seem controversial or technical, no matter how you feel everyone is right in their own opinion, always keep it in mind that you might be wrong too. Whether or not we have our opinions about different things, that won’t change the truth from being the truth and that is why we learn everyday.
It’s fine to make mistakes especially when it comes to making decisions but we should always be humble enough to accept it if we made a wrong choice and learn how to do things better.
