The Greed Of Man Poem by Alexandrian Ink

(Article) .All men desire happiness, with the sole purpose of obtaining peace. As rational beings, we act in accordance with reason and with intelligible principle. But, if on the other hand, this sense of reasoning fails, thus, one is lead by the impulse of his concupiscence appetite. Failure to checkmate these affectional appetites will warrant captivity leading to slavery of avarice. Since man is insatiable, one ought to regulate the appetite. But, the greedy one wishes to have peace and joy through the satisfactions of these inordinate desires.

The more an earthly man possesses, the more he acquires. And, the more he acquires, the more he sees extensively more elegant invents, positions and powers. The beauty of that captivates him, and since he has no resistance force in him, he is at once moved to get that thing; not even undermining the outcomes or what it may take to acquire it. His renown and possession, ipso facto, is always inferior, vile, debased and outdated in comparison with the new or higher invent. And, the cupidity of his acquisition does but never allows him to release an atom of his possession. Therefore, he acquires and acquires, but satisfaction is farfetched.

The greedy man is aligned with brute animals. Like brute animals, his death is quick and blessing to his family, friends and fiends even his children. He is a man of the self, personality and master of egoism. The more he acquires to satisfy his selfish heart desires, even so, the more jeopardy he faces. Thus, "more properties more problems; but those who do not have wish to have/acquire. The greed of man is a dreadful sable that curls the penitent soul, and finally terminates his essence.
