Greed?

GREED?

Dr Khurshid Alam. London 30/3/2012

The world created by God Almighty is sufficient in area to give a shelter to each person. It's resources are sufficient to give respectable living to every one. If one cares for one's needs the others will not sleep hungry. The humans miseries are the result of greed of a person, class, society, or a country.

Greed is an inhuman mental illness of self seekers. They see themselves, either don't see others or damn care. Need has limits, greed has no limitation. Need is a characteristic of a person with self respect. Greed is a habit of a perpetual, compulsive flatterer. To greedy human dignity matters the least. He gets pleasure to be flattered and feel not ashamed to flatter others. The greed makes the person sycophant. He flatters others and like the company of flatters.

From a person to universe the greed has made this heavenly world in to a hell. Gandhi said," the world is a heaven if you look after your needs but it is a hell if you are satisfying your greed." It is a vicious circle and have no limits. Bacha Khan ( known as Sarhadi Gandhi ) used to tell me that greed makes monkey out of a man. He does anything and everything to get what he wants. Greed robs you of your dignity and shakes your faith in God. Greedy is a commodity for sale and is bought by any one. Greed makes the inner man so weak that he bows to any one. They have neither self respect nor they have moral values. It is a sin to expect something from some one except God. Not forgivable

Greed breeds expectation that further tarnish one's inner man. To my question that how can we get rid of expectations he said," reduce your needs." He told me a story that on the insistence of his elder brother, Dr. Khan Sahib, he went to see the British governor of our province. The governor took him to a place and said look at these people they are dying to meet me and you refuse to come and see me. Bacha khan replied they might have a greed to ask for your help and I don't need any thing from you but asking you to leave my land.

It dehumanise a human. Dehumanised human is worse than an animal. Neither he can be used as an animal nor he can be trusted as a human being. In my life I have seen some " have nots" what greed has done to them. It is to our bad luck that some of these elements have infiltrated in our party and has damaged us beyond repair. May God protect us from this filth.
