Man is greedy because man is afraid. Afraid that there’s not enough. Afraid that he’s not enough. It’s not just a sad state of affairs, it’s a tragic predicament.

I don’t know if irony is the right word, but tragic certainly is. We have enough, yet we don’t think we are enough, therefore we take more and more.

This reminds me of the book Braiding Sweet Grass

Great writing. Everything has become a greedy interest among crazy groups, and thirsty for world wealth. Everyone needs wealth, but there are certain limits that must be maintained in terms of morals and human values. The world community certainly understands who controls and is controlled, who colonizes and colonizes, who oppresses and destroys. Then who wants to be hurt and tortured, I think all good people will understand.
