Greed-The True Power                                                                                       Page 2
By Anthony Douglas Gere


Everything she wants, she gets for herself.  A need is equivalent to a team, as a want is only for
self.  Now would I want for her to not have any children outside of me, yes, but that's a selfish
want.  But I need her to have them right now in her life, because it made her who she is, and
prepares me to be a better father and have appreciation for something bigger than just us.  
But its like beauty and the beast so to speak with me and her.  I have the brains and her the
beauty, though I'm not giving her just due in her intelligence that is displayed in her own way.  All
I want is to make her happy, relieve her stress and have her realize the difference in a need and
a want.  Not what she can just get from me, but what I need to give her out of my greed to love
her and all of her perfect flaws.  To invest all she has to give, to only receive more of what she is
giving and getting, out of greed, the true power.


So people coming to the land of freedom, once they become aculmated, forget where they
came from, and take upon the new persona of their surroundings of new found comfort.  They
forget about the reason they came, what they have been blessed with and how to capitalize
from this gift.  Now those that succeed, more than likely didn't have to relocate, because of
the discipline in appreciating what they have inside, that fuels their understanding on what's
not understood.  But those moving or running faster than their dreams, will bring along with
them the self produce stress they felt comfortable with in sabotaging their appreciation of
self, which is a uncomfortable comfort.  Most individuals destroy people and situations,
while going through life balancing the opposite.  What I mean is, they are concentrating on
self instead of something greater than themselves, like the team, system, partnership or
relationship.  Priorities or needs become lost in finding the justifications of their temporary
wants.  Its like once finding a better way or situation, they question it because it is foreign
and not comfortable to their pattern which is not what they think could be better.

When I first start working for my mentor for free a while ago, I found myself giving him
advice on what I would do if I was in his situation.  How I would invest his money, select
paths to travel and so on.  What I had forgotten is that he was my mentor, showing me a
better way and I was there to learn from him on how to be what he represented.  He had
walked in my shoes, traveled my path and more than likely seen things I could have
never envisioned at the time.  So as he humbly heard me talking out of my ass, he told
me to remember where I was before him and why I was there in the first place.  He was
right.  Me and many of my peers had dreamed of a situation like this, and said and
swore we would do anything to be in this situation, be treated and feel like we had
never before and dreamed of.  But once I got into the perfect scenario, I brought along
all of my past baggage, and forgotten why I studied and prayed for a situation like this.  
I forgot about my needs and wants, and what it could cost me by doing so.  To be loved,
cherished and admired is sort of the same way.  When someone finds what they have
always wanted, they tend to become greedy and instantly gobble up every opportunity
they can think of.  They do it because they want to keep this feeling going selfishly, not
understanding that needing it, would provide this feeling naturally, for the rest of their
lives.

I've learned to give more than I expect.  To feed or invest myself into something larger
than what I'm involved in, and remember where I was, wanted and needed before I
found it.  Once I remember what's a stake, what I can benefit from it and all that I'm
involved with intimately can prosper from its gift, me wanting something means
nothing, and a need to nurture what is fueling me vital and deadly important.  So to
those that know me, want to know me and involved with me, understand that what
was never completely understood about me is that greed, for the lack of the use of a
better word, is good.  Its the true power in appreciation what you have, don't have,
can have and can't obtain that separates it from a want.  Greed, is a need, not a
want.  To be obsessed with love is to nurture it and protect that love with your love
for it.  To be selfish and not acknowledge something larger than yourself, is a want,
and will go away from your selfish ways, because you are uncomfortable with the
comforts of a better way.  The egg can tell the chicken how to lay it.  Think about it.

So maybe the lesson we can learn while teaching foreigners our fabulous ways of
freedom when they arrive in this mystical euphoria called America is, each and every
situation we encounter is somewhat like America.  Its like that because we are
foreigners arriving to a new place.  We may have heard or known about it, but we don't
know the language, culture or comfortable ways that can somewhat be a little
uncomfortable to us when we get there.  We think we know what's best for it, but we
forget, we wished and wanted it, it didn't need us to be what it was and already is.  
That's because "America", is bigger than a piece of land, its a way of life.  This also
goes with love, passion and all that are on the close opposite end of lust and pleasure.  So
maybe that's why when I venture into a lustful situation looking for love, I am foreign, and
don't speak the language or know the culture.  I’m hurting myself because I keep
forgetting that to seek comfort in a uncomfortable way, is just not in my nature.  I've
learned that if you keep going through life wanting things, all you will get is memories,
silhouettes and shadows.  To fulfill a need and give meaning to something fueling you
with passion, will deliver clarity to something solid and very special.  So God bless
America for its dedication to freedom and welcoming strangers to its land.  The soil that
many settlers never settled on, wanting to just survive on.  But needing to live on with
clarity.  Out of greed, the true power -
