GREED, SATISFACTION & GRATEFULNESS
If we really want to be happy in our life, we must learn to be satisfactory. Lets take the example of a story. Two little boys were playing in a field. Both of them feel very hungry but there was nobody around to give them food. They go & stand under a tree. The fruits on the tree are ripe but the kids are too small to be able to climb the tree to take the fruits. So, one of the kids started eating the spoilt fruits which had fallen on the ground. He ate to his full & returned home. His mother had made his favourite dish but he refused to eat it. The other kid, who hadn't eaten mud, was very hungry. He not only are his share but also the other kid's share of the food. From this story we learn that one whose stomach is full, will never feel hungry, i.e., a person who is already satisfied, won't feel greedy. We should be thankful to God for whatever we have because there are many others who don't even get that much. Whatever God does is the best for us. We realise that later in our lives.
