Reward for Greediness part 2

An Arab while crossing a desert came across a huge
rock half buried in the sand. Written on the boulder
was: "TURN ME OVER AND YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM
IT"
The Arab felt assuming there was a great treasure
hidden underneath it worked mightily to turn it over.
He succeeded after several hours. But there was no
treasure there, only an inscription on the underside
of the rock: "GREED IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
REMEMBER THIS AND YOU WILL BE A BETTER MAN."
Haven't you collected free pens, note books at
conferences? Watch people picking up candies,
freshening tissues, napkins in the flights simply to
go home and throw them. People go on collecting
things out of greed and fear.
"Greed is a projection of fear. It is because of fear
that man becomes greedy. He is so much afraid, that
he wants to accumulate for the future. He is so
afraid, that he sacrifices his today for tomorrow
and the tomorrow never comes. The greedy man never
becomes rich.
He may have the whole world at his disposal, but he
remains poor. He cannot enjoy it, his greed won't
allow that. He remains miserly. He always remains in
such fear of the future that he cannot part with his
money. He accumulates, accumulates, wastes his
whole life and one day dies.
He was a poor man his whole life - empty-handed he
had come, empty-handed he has gone, and his whole
life went down the drain with no significance."
