Illusion destroys Trust,
But greed wipes out all of these.

Thus, it is advisable to keep a safe distance from greed and
its causes.

The Prime difference between humans and animals is the
human beings’ strong mind and its power to control greed
and resist temptations.

1) Control over greed

Some animal species like the Swan are naturally content and
satisfied. Once they get their required quota of food, they do
not crave for more, unlike humans. Being humans, we should
wisely strive to control greed and eventually eliminate it. If
complete elimination is not possible, keeping certain limitations

is absolutely necessary.

2) Watch over greed

Keep a strict guard over greed. Does it stimulate sins, wrong
actions and thoughts? Analyse yourself – If it does, then show
a red signal to greed.

Disadvantages of greed

i) If greed is not timely controlled or guarded, it leads to

unlimited sins.

ii) Unethical business activities prevail.

iii) It leads to an increase in lies and fraud.
