I think that there is a simple way to look at it too.
If you're a manager, you're supposed to think & act with people as a priority. U're supposed to operate from 'Social Intelligence'.
But if u're a programmer, u're supposed to operate from 'Technical Intelligence'.
Since these two are very different and will result in different thinking & acting so the schedule will obviously be different.
Sorry to have misunderstood it. But i think we are talking the same thing. What u call 'a little bit of greed', i call need. And it might be a bit different for everyone, coz only the person will decide how much is enough for him.
If you have differentiated between greed and need and follow it, then its fine. Problem solved. But the problem is that it doesnt stop at 'a little bit of greed'. Lets have some more!
Its not about avoiding mines. We could go about drilling mines on the moon.
The point is this - 'Consumerism thats out of control. A need not unlike that of a child and that too which is ever growing (fuelled by ever-growing population). Its about growing up to be true producers - like nature'
'Greed' is not intellectual or logical in nature. Its psychological
And what about those 'projected returns' figures that never materialised?
And what about Earth's limited capacity to sustain unlimited needs?
And what about that huge desert in Iraq where once a great civilization flourished?
And finally what abt - "There is enough for everyone's need not for everyone's greed - MKG"
Intellectuality is not the only angle of looking at things. Try it out with any woman !
You are living in the past. Just be aware of your choices as you make them. Thats all. Heard of Zen yet?
