Greed - it drives people to subjugate others

05/07/2026

You are all aware that too much food is bad for your health. But what you must also bear in mind is that by eating more than they need, people get used to taking what was meant for others. And if many people do the same, some consuming too much while others not enough, an imbalance will be created in the world. All misunderstandings and confrontations stem from envy, greed and the immoderate accumulation of wealth (food, land, objects) of which others are then deprived. The need to take and assimilate more than our share drives people to subjugate others or even eliminate those who show the slightest sign of resistance or opposition. So, it is important to control, moderate and regulate this need to monopolize everything at a very early age. If it goes unchecked, it can assume such gigantic proportions in every area of life that it will become the source of the greatest misfortunes. Every day, several times a day, your meals should be an opportunity to reflect on this issue.
