January 5th, 2012 Want, Need, or Greed
Want, Need, or Greed?
This morning I was thinking about going shopping,
after reading some of the hand-delivered catalogues
that are put into my letter box.
While wondering how much of a certain item to buy,
the thought crossed my mind, “Do I want it, or do
I NEED it?”
This is a good maxim to go shopping with. After
thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided not
to go shopping after all.
Why not? Because I realised it was want, or maybe
even greed, not need at all.
This can apply to what we purchase or which programs
we join online also.
Have you ever joined a program online because it
offered you a lot of money for little effort? Was
this need. or want, or greed? To be honest, many
of us would have to answer “greed” to this question.
Perhaps the next time we go shopping or are tempted
to buy something online, we should ask ourselves the
question:
“Is this need, want, or greed?”
You never know, if you answer honestly, you might
even save yourself some money, not a bad thing in
the current economic climate! Who doesn’t need
to save money?
