Talking to Elder

Talking to Elder

Find me

Seek me out

On your own

Tell me what it is

That you need

But do not use want

I never service greed

Seek me out

When you are lost

I have a map

But there's a cost

As there is for most

In life

The price you pay

To find yourself

Treat everyone

Like everybody else

"

 Its interesting to think that most of our requests are mere wants, that reources are wasted on wants, that mere wants blind us from seeing our needs, whats funny is that we realize our needs after the means has been misused on mere wants that after all aren't all that important.

Definitely  wisdom would show herself when an elder is involved.There's a wise saying in my hometown that "WHAT AN ELDER CAN SEE STANDING, A CHILD CANNOT SEE EVEN IF HE CLIMBS A TALL MOUNTAIN".

Indeed it's really sad where mere wants is taking humanity there are pros and cons to greed depending on the situation but you can never go wrong dismissing greed to be helpful or supportive...I like that quote it is very profound and true but thank you for the feedback
