Greed is not about the accumulation of wealth. It’s the accumulation of wealth at the expense of someone else labors.
“There is no greed in desiring more, there is only greed in stealing the labors of others.”
– Jeremy Locke
It’s ok to want more. It’s ok to have more. As long as you don’t steal it.
The important part here is stealing. Stealing is never a good thing.
The Robin Hood story is just wrong. Even if you give back to people in need, stealing is not a good thing.
“There are a lot of people who are doing wonderful things, quietly, with no motive of greed, or hostility toward other people, or delusions of superiority.”
– Charles Kuralt
Do wonderful things for others. Earn the wealth you want doing so. Earn as much as you want.
You can be a good energy into the life of a lot of people as you earn the wealth you desire.

About Serge ‘Mage’ Cote
Why do I write?
I believe in the butterfly effect.
As small my influence may be on the planet, it is still influence. I want to orient it for the better.
I write my book with the idea of bringing something good into this world.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
– Edmund Burke
I want my books to be a good place to be. A place that you visit often and feel good about it.
I want my books to bring good energy so the readers will take action to make this world a better place.
I want my books to guide those who don’t know why they feel so bad about their life.
I want my books to be there after I’ll be gone. I want people to come back to them and use them in a positive way.
“The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.”
– William James
