Just my thoughts #0700

Greed isn’t about how much you want, but about wanting something without paying for it. Nothing in this world is free; everything has a cost, whether seen or hidden. Trying to get something for nothing leads to problems and consequences. What am I actually paying now, and for what? It’s useful to think about this from time to time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

“Poverty charges interest,” said American singer Tay Zonday. If you don’t have money to buy toothpaste or a toothbrush, you will pay for the implant next year. This applies even to those with physical disabilities. People with disabilities often pay more for the average distance traveled. In contrast, the costs for the wealthy or non-disabled are cheaper and more efficient than those for others. Weakness is not merely a product of comparing superiority and inferiority. The moment I recognize my weakness, I must keep in mind the price I will pay in the future, and the world must charge me that interest. We often try to forget that this accumulation of poverty interests makes us poorer.
