RE: You Probably Won’t Get Rich

I like the general idea of your post here @scottcbusiness.

And I tend to think that people value #freedom and freedom from suffering more than anything, but that our ideas & desires for wealth & success can actually hinder or even counter our freedom.. it can also cause suffering for others & ourself if we are not careful.

Sort:  

Yeah absoultely, greed is indeed a vice

It might be useful to consider anything that counters, harms or destroys freedom as a vice.

Having said that, some restrictions that seem to hinder freedom might actually extend and strengthen it - not letting my 2 year old son play in the street when a car is coming is one example.


It is possible that we are only hurting each other AND ourselves when we carry on in vices.

  • An absence of all vices might be the epitome of #freedom 👍
