Greed, the True Power
By Anthony Douglas Gere
America, the most blessed and forgotten place on earth. The land of the free, and home of the
brave. Where any and everything is possible, and where the impossible dream doesn't exist.
Many have heard the stories of people traveling miles and miles to reach the soil of the free, as
many forget the dirt they wiped from their feet once they got brave and made a home on this
land. A man once told me a story of a study taken place sometime ago, where a group of
diverse people were placed in a unified camp setting, trying to deal with adversity. Each were
asked at the beginning to list the things they felt were holding them back, and brought upon
them non-due stress that didn't have anything to do with their jobs or daily life. Each problem,
distraction and issue was eliminated, and each were given the task or job of their choice, and
the means to succeed the goal they have always wanted and dreamed about. Upon each of
them first being introduced and then pleased with their selfish justifications and comfort level in
obtaining what they felt would better them as person, each became distracted by the
uncomfortable comforts they made up in manufacturing stress and more reasons than they
originally had before. Each party equally found a calmness in a relative fashion, but the
temporary trend in finding this haven, deemed them lost with no way out.
What the study showed is that enough is never enough. We as people will always find
something to silently compete and complain with, while doing our best to not be judged in
judgments concerning our needs and wants. The word enough, is just a word that has no end
once started, and no limit to the imagination once completed. I feel a complete understanding
of what is never understood is the ultimate discipline, and how I must give to what gives me
the feeling of being complete, a must. I myself keep and constant reminder with me at all
times. Reminding me on where I was, what I have and what I need and simply just want.
Sometimes we confuse a want for a need, and don't prioritize what we have for what we see
we can get. One of my most famous sayings to those I encounter is, " you will appreciate me
when I gone". I don't solely think its just me so to speak, but any and everything that comes
into our life and alters it in a good or bad way. I'm a firm believer that what doesn't kill you
will make you stronger, and it is our greatest weakness that gives us the strength to carry on.
What increases your stamina is the experience or act, not the person or thing, its bigger
than that. When factoring in all that can come from a experience, and how it can affect you
and all around you for the long haul, that simply transparent "want", doesn't seem that
important, as the "need", to keep what is blessing you alive and truly vital. Its called a
formula or system of finding a lost common goal. Something greater than yourself, and
gives you a comfort that is uncomfortable in a healthy way. If one doesn't respect a penny,
they can never obtain a nickel. Same goes for a dime into a quarter, a dollar into five and
so on and so on. The big picture never gets completed, if the smaller or little things don't
play their part and paint the picture we want to fully see when viewing it. So each goal we
set can never be fully obtained, if you don’t relish each step taken towards it, and every
one taking further away.
My parents and I, made something neither one of us could not completed alone. I made
them parents, and the gave me life. They were man and woman, husband and wife and
doing fine. But until they had a child, they weren't parents. They had the same greed in
loving me, as the appreciation I have in needing them to be here. I need a woman to be a
man, as she needs a husband to be a wife. A father is not a daddy, as is sex not the
same as making true love. Its about appreciation and respect for what you have that
makes you what you are. Its about saying what you say, and doing what you do. Not
doing what you just say, because lust is not love, as is I not you. But brought together,
we have the ability to reach farther, because honest has no definition, it just defines your
reason for doing so. I feel the more we have gained as a unit, the more we have to lose
as individuals. But it is those that appreciate the gifts that needs nothing but the gift,
and those not appreciating the wants, that doesn't get the gift they already have or
shown to them. We as people, compete on a subtle level and in a way on many levels. I
mean yeah, we all get along, live where we do, go to the same schools, jobs and such.
But we all are wanting something, and needing something else to makes us what we
need or want to represent. Even when and where we work, everyone is doing what
they can to survive, live, excel, stay silent and make a statement. Its not that they need
to have what the other has, but wants what the other doesn't. Its in our clothes, our
speech, the quality we put into what's important and what we are representing as a
individual to the team. But deep down, we all are greedy and want the best for ourselves
to ironically fuel a need to help others. I went to college with 30 thousand students,
playing on a 15 man basketball team and we all were competing for a limited job
opportunity once we left there. Those that were greedy in whichever way, invested and
dedicate all they had to secure the opportunity to reach such a utopian place, the top. We
all wanted the best job, prettiest woman and be seen in the highest and brightest light.
What we forgot was that we were not what we wanted, and more of what we needed.
It was all relative to what we were searching for.
Now though we wanted such things, we really needed a balance and something that
would stimulate our soul, not increase the size of or ego, or wants. The career I have now
is a need for me, because I'm passionate about it. And the woman I need in my life right
now, is not the woman I've always wanted. The woman I'm interested in now brings me
a balance I cant explain. There are so many reasons I shouldn't do things, but when I do
now, they feel so incredible and I feel I can't create this feeling without her. Its bigger than
me, and all I have, but its the little things that others failed to do that makes her unique
and vital to my future. I am learning as much as I am teaching. Any and everything she
needs I will provide.
