You are so right. Obstacles are our steppingstones to tomorrow, but greed is a powerful thing. Anything we’ve achieved from greed can’t be good.
Here’s a novel idea….how about we all get in line for kindness, respect, good manners, consideration for others, and plain old common sense. Let’s replace hating someone for the color of their skin, the shape of their eyes, or the language they speak. That would move humanity forward faster than anything!

Nothing seems to be quite as seductive as greed…My husband, fortunately, has an abhorrence of it! He’d rather spend his time appreciating what he already has.. And I heartily agree. x

That shows true wisdom. My father was the same way. He was never a wealthy man but he had riches beyond belief.

So true. Obstacles make us stronger but there will always be those who will take advantage.

Yes, greed. I am seeing this first hand my entire life and it is sad. Obstacles – so many and sad part is that people love planting it in front of me.
