The definition of Greed is an excessive desire for more of something than is needed. so clearly, Greed is a major issue in my life. Greed seems to be one of my personality traits, because it manifests itself in most of the areas in my life.
I am not a minimalist. Rather than less, I want more. I like my things. I like being surrounded by them. What some people call clutter, I find delightful Space, to me, is an empty place to put something.
I want more food than my body needs, and I want my food to be delicious, attractive, entertaining, and comforting, as well as nutritious. This particular Greed for food is a long-term problem of mine, because while I don't want to be fat, at the same time, I also want to eat a large variety of foods; I want to eat as frequently as possible; and my preference is to eat as much as my body will hold ...rather than just what my body will use.
I am also Greedy for experiences and activities and knowledge. New experiences and activities are welcome, but I want to add the new ones without limiting those I already enjoy. This, also, creates an obvious problem.
Even this website is an example of this. There are so many things I want to say here. There are so many recipes I want to share. There are so many "words of wisdom" I want to video. Now, making these videos at YouTube has evolved into me also becoming a video "YouTube Grandma". While only in it's third week this is generating a great deal of interest which is resulting in additional input of personal time and work. I'm not willing to eliminate anything....(there's that Greed again} so right now, it's all just one-day-at-a-time. Still, Life is Good. ..and perhaps....Greed for more of it is okay. Greed is simply another one of my many imperfections. One to be Acknowledged, Accepted, and Lived with. Another personal Life Example shared, here at DietHobby. On Fridays, I'm posting my Ask Grandma weekly video for YouTube, if you are interested, it is posted HERE under RESOURCES, Videos, Ask Grandma.
