Greed

In youth, one's greed may turn gold into bliss but one grown poor and old need just learn this: Who does not hold an urn in which to piss, must earn joy then, through love, not avarice

I am reminded of a good friend, a nun, who had taken a vow of poverty -- really, to my mind, among the richest people I have ever met. I am also close with multi millionaires, maybe billionaires -- I don't know...I don't ask. Short but profound write. Congratulations! Well deserved.
