If one's desires are kept unchecked, one will continue to want "more, more, and more."
The trick to this, is being able to sit down. Think. Rationalize. Be logical.
It takes alot to be able to accept one's standing, understand his limitations, and live and try to live happily with what he has, where he is at, and what he is doing and where he wants to go. Ascertainable Goals.
Because in the end, we are all organic matter. Either we be Emperors, Kings, Dictators, Presidents, powerful attorneys, judges, doctors, nurses, teachers, domestic worker, or even a priest. We all die. All of us expire.
And in the end, all that we worked for, sacrificed for, remains. The material cannot go with the immaterial soul.
Better to live honestly and in poverty than to live in sin in acquiring riches.
Judgement, in the end, is not something we can bribe away. Trust me.

The proverbial saying ushers truth: "You cannot take your money to where you are going."
