A little story about greed, a story of greed tells people something

The German playwright and literary theorist Lessing once told such a story:

The hamster laughed at the ants: "Poor ants, you have worked so hard for a whole summer to gather such a small amount of food. Is it worth it? I should have shown you my reserves! ”

Listen," said an ant, "because you have stored so much more food than you need, that humans will dig you out of the dirt, empty your granary, and make you die to atone for your greedy banditry: they make all too much sense!" ”

So, don't be too greedy – that's the truth, when desire is greater than life, it's inevitable that life will be threatened, just like a hamster. But for human beings, it is really not possible to clear the walls and wilderness of hamsters, and make them violently corpses, the superiority of being intelligent higher animals: although hamsters are hateful, it is really another evil to crusade against dissidents with punishments greater than their sins.

This is also just as ordinary people say: "Retribution for injustice is passed on from injustice to injustice!" Besides, it is lust that makes people sinful, and if they do not cure their greed fundamentally, but are satisfied with superficial disposition, even if they can be cured of the rat plague for a while, they will not be able to exchange for long-term peace.

Once upon a time, there was a peasant woman and her wife in the village who had a flock of chickens. Among them was a hen who laid a golden egg every day.

The farmer and his wife thought to themselves that this hen must have a large piece of gold in her belly! If they kill the chickens and take out that piece of gold, they will immediately get a large sum of money. The more they thought about it, the hotter their heads became, and they couldn't wait for the hen to lay the golden eggs.

They caught the hen, killed it with a knife, and when they opened their stomachs, they found that the hen was no different from ordinary hens. It was so unexpected for them. As a result, instead of getting the large sum of money they were expecting, the stupid couple lost the golden eggs they had every day!

Not too long, not too short... What concept ,,, speechless,,Search the story of Socrates.

Folk bizarre tale: greed for money in the palm of your hand.

Tell people that they should be content and happy, and that the end of greed is loss and destruction.

The little monkey went into the cornfield to break the corn, broke a stick and pinched it under his armpit. The corn grows too tall and too good, and the little monkey can't see it clearly, so he always thinks that the corn in front of him is big, and he reaches out to break it, and then clips it under the armpit. Alas, there is a bigger one ahead, and then I will reach out and break it, and then put it under the armpit......After a long day's work, the little monkey was ready to go home, and lowered his head to check the fruits of his labor in the armpits.

It's still fun if you don't check, and when you check it, the little monkey is dumbfounded: there is only a stick of corn in the armpit! For the sake of the "bigger" in front of him, the monkey kept throwing away the fruits in his hands, and turned back to work hard, and all he got was a stick of corn.

When I was traveling around the world, I saw a beast on a deserted island, with a human head and iron hooves, eating the land and drinking the sea. I stopped, and Wangji burned for a long time, then approached the beast and asked, "Haven't you eaten and drunk enough?" Will there never be enough? ”

The Beast: "No, no! I'm full of food and drink, and I'm tired of eating and drinking. However, I am worried that by tomorrow, there will be no land to eat or sea to drink. ”
