Avaritia

A story that my Dad tells me about life..I kno Many of you had heard of it from me and many of you might not...
S0 here goes the story...
When God was creating the world..he decided to give 25 years of life to Man, Donkey, Cow and Dog.
Except the Man everyone else was unhappy
So the Donkey went to god and said " Oh my lord! the world is pretty tough for me as I have to do loads of work to survive..I can't bear the burden..spare me and please reduce my life span to 10 years "
God said "But how will I balance the delicate nature..will sumone wanan take up ur spare life..."
Man said , "Yes I will"

Similarly Cow n Dog also went to God and the man accepted all their extra life....

And then Man took birth...
He lives like A man for 25 years..and then he start living the life of the Donkey where he works hard to survive for next 15 years, then it's Cow life starts where everyone his wife... his kids everyone squeezes him for extra bit of life, just like we take out out milk from the cow..and wen he turn 55 ..his life becomes like a dog...where he keeps on barking on people, get irritated and had to wag his tail to get a lil piece of food to survive....

So this story tell us how Man toook extra bit of misery and added in his life...


So tell me what's that??? Was man wrong on first place to accept all the extra life..
Yes???
Then why do u still a sinnner with Avaritia..
Yeah frnds I m talking about another sin of the life and that's Avaritia..the Greed.

The greed was defined as Desire for extra wealth...and sin of excesses ..but I feel greed is what we desire for extra piece in our life...We are never satisfied with what we get and we strive for more..and then we choose the path of the sin to fulfill our desire for more..

U feel u r not greedy?? U are well satisfied with ur life...

I don't thinks so..all of us work hard to survive but No..we don't work hard..actually we work harder to live life happily..U used to work 8 straight hours..now u chose a job to satisfy ur desire for a better life and u work now for 10 hours straight..so wen do u live the life..
u wake up at 7 ..reach office by 9..work there till 7 and come back panting at 9..have ur dinner..and by 11 u get to bed for ur 8 hours sleep...so wen are u living the life for which u r earning extra...ur spouse is unhappy..ur life is unhappy..u r in stress..so wat does this little money is bringing in ur life apart from increasing ur bank balance..
Wat if the Apocalypse comes tomorrow and we are all dead..okay if there is reincarnation..it's fine..u get a chnace to live for another life and u rectify all the fault u committed...but wat if there is no reincarnation..wat if we are jus a assempby of cells which will disintegrate wid us in this life and we are soul less and dead completely..no life no ghosty life or norreincarnation..so wat will that extra bankbalance will help....

The desire for more..it never ends and it always brings misery in ur life..
I have talked about money ..but Desire for extra starts from money and it reaches deep in our life..Extra desire for power..desire for beauty, desire for fame..everything in excess jus brings in Misery...

So frnds try to overcome the Avaritia and feel content.
Take out time ..not for money but for urself as if this is the only life u have..then live it..don't waste it for getting a Mercedes wen u can have an AC small car with extra mileage...
Live the life my frnd..coz may be it is ur only chance to feel the world..so work hard..but take out time for urself ..don't destroy it longing for more..Don't be blinded..Don't be a sinner of Avaritia...LIfe is beautiful..Don't waste it on materialistic pleasure
