From what I have witnessed, I can mention that 'The World has Enough for every man's Need but not Enough for every man's Greed.'

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you have was once among the things you only hoped for.” - Epicurus
It's so easy, yet so life changing. Multiple aspects of my life right now are far from ideal, but if I focus on what I actually do have, mostly non-materialistic, I consider myself to be very lucky and happy🥰. There is absolutely no need for always wanting more. Focus on what we do have instead of the things we don't have.

“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.” Erich Fromm

I once heard this quote "If you are not happy with what you have, you will not be happy with what you don't have", it is the truth indeed, contentment is a daily effort to shift perspectives.

The farmer from courage the cowardly dog!

[masoluboxD]

applies to relationship too, the more you want a partner the worse the loneliness gets

[frankchinguwo]

I love how your content accommodates everyone whether they are Christian, Buddhist, Tao etc

[Booz]

Your videos truly changed my life. I began watching them during the pandemic. I would drive around and listen to them when everything was locked down, and I was feeling down.
I always come back when I need to be grounded again.

Thank you.

The feeling of fighting greed is what keeps me in loop of depression. It's insane how much of a fight it puts. Thank you for the video, once again :)

We're all greedy, but some of us see through the illusion. Videos like this help wake up from greed. ❤️

[FlavioMOliveira]

Always will be a better car, a bigger house, better clothes, expensive trips .. it never ends, such trip never ends.

[GraceCanadaful]

Thank you so much for your essays. They are a wonderful way to stop, and think. They often help to relax and view our daily life from a different perspective. I usually get your new videos in the moorning - words of wisdom and a cup of coffee are the best way to start a day. ❤🇨🇦

[MellowMutts]

Of all the things humans are prone to greed is the most disgusting to me. It permeates every aspect of a personality and slowly taints all the good things about it.

[becomingdauntless]

Please could you bring out a video about the dangers of comparing oneself to others and feeling behind in life? I feel like this is an issue many struggle with throughout their lives so would be helpful to understand any philosophical ideas surrounding this.

[tinkeringinthailand]

OH MY ! You have summed up my (daily) thoughts when I live and look man, it kills me to see.

[SearchOfSelf]

Greed can make a real mess, no matter how small it may appear. It's really shocking to witness the effects that it can have. It's really something to think about, highlighting the strength of greediness.

[sergest-amand]

Interesting. I suggest this subject may deserve a part two based on the recent findings of neuroscience about dopamine and what these findings could bring to the discussion (Dopamine nation, The molecule of more and Huberman Lab).

[redstarling]

Lust is the hardest one to overcome personally.

[tanvirahmed]

I hope all the people who wants to be free from greed finds the tools necessary for getting out of greed cycle.

[davidharvey]

A wise person once defined greed as more than enough. If we are truly grateful for the enough we have in our lives there is no desire for more.
