Greed

Of all of life's lessons, there is just one that I feel will always stick with me; rely on no one, for everyone leaves in the end. I know how it feels to be deserted. I know how it feels to be put on a shelf to collect dust like a cheap Christmas card from an indifferent relative. Truth be told, man is a selfish race. Over the years of being used just to be cast aside, it has become apparant to me that even those seeming most altruistic are meerley skilled at hiding their egotistical tendancies. Every selfless action has a selfish motive. In both charity and malevolence, the same incentives are at work. It is vital to trust no one, and when in doubt, remember: everyone is the same. Everyone is driven by the same greed and everyone possesses the same lust for self-fullfilment. Never forget that greed is the most powerful force in existence, and its strength cannot be measured by any means other than the strength of the will in a selfish man's heart
