"As long as people continue to want more and more, their greed will be
like a fire which needs constant fuelling. Whatever is put in it will
be
burnt up and still the fire goes on and on. The only way to stop it, is
to
find contentment. Only contentment will stop the fires of desire and
greed from growing."
