There is no calamity greater than lavish desires.
There is no greater guilt that discontentment
And there is no greater disaster than greed. (Tao Te Ching,
46)
Today I will
interpret this. “There is no calamity greater than lavish desires” this
statement is true because when one desires too much, he/she does not think of
what would be the consequence of his action even it will hurt someone, because
he/she only want to fulfill his/her lavish desires. “There is no greater guilt
than discontentment”, this statement is true because when one is discontented
with what he/she have, he/she will do anything whether it is good or bad, just
to get what he/she want. There is no greater guilt than discontentment because
if one is discontented, he/she will never be satisfied and if one never get
satisfied and being discontented with what he/she have, there will be a action
done by him/her just to fulfill what he want and does not think the consequence
of his or her action. “And there is no greater disaster than greed” this
statement is true because if one is greedy, he/she will never be satisfied and
he/she will never be happy with what he/she have. If one is greedy, he/she will
do anything just to gather more and more and he/she will not notice that he/she
gathered so much that there is no left for someone and it will create chaos to
everyone. If one is greedy like the some politicians, some are so greedy of
power and money and because of their greed for power and money, they don’t want
someone to oppose them or someone that will put their power or position in
danger, so some of them kill or erase the person who opposes them because they
are so in love with money and power that they believe that it should not be
taken from them. And because of their greediness, they don’t want to give what
they get from the people to the people and by it, it creates poverty and disaster
to everyone. And there is no really greater disaster than greed.
