Radix Malorum est Cupiditas Radix malorum est cupiditas - the love for money is the root of all evil, in other words, greed. Greed is seen in almost everyone and is a vice. Greed can be both good and bad. However, I shall focus on the monetary aspects of greed. I shall keep this entry short. I went for bowling SAJC bowling training today. It was really nice to see old and new faces on the team. I was really happy though bored. I had to help Alex in his warm-up today too. It is tough to lead a team for the first time and it is no easy task. Anyway I realised that SA is gonna be really strong, esp the guys. After training we head out for lunch and I was broke. I was suddenly reminded of the importance of money in this world. Have you ever imagined how much your friend has in his wallet? I don't think so right? Other then the times when you are planning to share a cab. Well, I did as i was crossing the overhead bridge towards Roxy Square. Is everyone like me? Carrying little amounts of money to avoid overspending or are there wallets fat and swollen with thick stacks of dough. I suddenly had a strong "craving" for money. I was turning greedy. I thought of stealing, robbing, embazzling but all these are punishable crimes. How do we strike rich quick? I was reminded of the story in "The pardoner's tale" by Chaucer. 3 "brothers" ended killing each other for the sake of money. Does this proof that greed is wrong? That is for you to answer.... I have 2 more entries to type so i shall end here. Will get back on this topic. Just a word of advice, greed is alright but do not go overboard that will cause harm on others. - My theme is alwey oon, and evere was- Radix Malorum est Cupiditas - I promise. 8:07 AM.
