YEAR OF ZEN: WINTER: DAY 78

Q: Where do you find yourself getting a little greedy?

A: Greed is one of the uglier demons that haunts the human condition and something we are all prone to at one time or another. Rarely does my greed focus on material things. When it does it is usually around improvements I want to make to the house that we simply cannot afford at this time: a new kitchen, a new garage, a finished basement. Sometimes my greed manifests inward (like an ideal body weight the seems hopelessly out of grasp). Like all things tied to emotion, my greed and subsequent desires come and go and I am grateful to be even-keeled enough to rarely, if ever, give myself over to them.
