Greed is the source of all evil. Greed is the stigma of a selfish self!
It may present itself as gold, attracting everyone who dare see it. Then
people just want to gather more and more, even more than what they can
even hold! Material things are hauled by the dozen, by those who have
the power, often reaching the very brink of extortion as they leech out
to the very last time to those less favored. Avarice shows lacks of
morale, avarice is a poison not even the carrier has a cure for.


I well remember when credit prices were at 1,200 gold to a maximum of
1,400 gold, then I blinked: with a stifling sensation, I realized prices
to escalate to 1,500 gold to 1,700 gold. I was astounded! Once had I
rejoiced about how novices like me would be able to purchase credits and
learn with greater effort. But then, I dared to blink again!
Lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen, I blinked for what seems to have
lasted an eternity. Prices skyrocketed to a whooping 2,000 gold reaching
a maximum of 2,500 gold! What was appalling was the fact that this
"eternity" was but the ephemeral moment of a year.


To all those who have the power to change this, may your will lead you
onto making this change. Credit prices must be rectified and placed
within reason. 1,500 gold is within reach, and everyone of you would
still make your precious gold whereas us novices could benefit of more
lessons. May your heart be driven warm and realize that which you can
haul and drops from your grasp, you might as well share. It is
understandable you people wish to make a profit, but could you take us
into consideration? For most it is time consuming to raise gold to
satisfy our needs, but now, even to have a taste of joy from the credit
market.


On regards of another issue, always within the realms of GREED the evil
one. I wish to discuss about Herbs. Yes, nature provides in abundance,
yes nature, may not need us, seeing how nature will probably out live us
all. BUT, maybe the destructive power of mortal avaritia has been
severely underestimated, as more and more herbs are depleted to
dangerous levels nearing them to the threshold of their own extinction.
I just hope they don't grow fearful enough to stop emerging from their
seeds altogether. Just because plants grow, does not give an okay for
anyone who can strangle the life out of every plant! Herbs are of use to
us all, too, respect them, love them, and above else, be the harvester
you are supposed to be, learn to tend the lands and keep them fertile
assuring the growth of all that is green and breathes. Share with all
the bounty of nature and show nature gratitude by sustaining that what
she gives you, rather than abusing of it blinded. You shall harvest what
you sow!


Civilizations move constantly pushing nature away, making nature to
either become swifter and adapt or die. But, how can it adapt to choking
hands that strangle it's resources every day? Are we vampires that must
suck all life from every corner or creatures of thought and gratitude?
No, it is even the duty of those who live close to nature to respect it
be nurtured by it and return the favor.


Moderation is a great virtue. Contrary to greed, moderation may actually
be praiseworthy and be a savior. Thank you all for reading, and may you
all be blessed by the spirits of altruism and caretaking! And remember:
greed turns lovers sour, friends into enemies, brothers into rivals, and
the soul hollow!
