Maya AngelouThere is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
About This Quote
The line between loving life and being greedy for it is one that many people don’t cross. Greed is the desire to have too much of something valuable. When someone crosses this line, they are likely to end up with nothing valuable because they didn’t spend their time wisely. For instance, if someone gets too greedy for money, money isn’t valuable to them anymore.
They will end up with nothing or very little of what they desired. However, if someone loves life then they will enjoy what they have and they won’t be greedy for more. Instead, they will make sure they use their time wisely to achieve what they want in life.
