Narcissistic Acts: greed always loses!

By: Alaa Babiker

Sometimes it is very difficult to start a new life, specially when the demond of greed comes along and attacks the minds of people.
When someone finds an opportunity the first thing comes to mind is taking it, but there is only one fine line between opportunity and greed where too many people mix between the two. The true question remains: is that person greedy or he is just taking the opportunity?! And the answer always depends on the situation and the person’s actions.

In the world, there are different kinds of people. Those who are wise and positive thinkers about opportunities, and those who are greedy and intentionally mix good chances with greed. They allow the devil to manipulate their minds and make one of the horrible sins in moat of the religions and beliefs.

Practical life economy speaking, greed reduces and does not increase. We have a famous practical saying in Sudan that greed actually decreased any matter it was concerned with, and really does not increase at all. Too many people try to gain more and even take from others forcefully, but they end up losing even what they had gained. Regarding this matter, I would like to take the RSF as an example, the Commander of this amry had everything, transitioning from desert work to being the second man in the entire country, the army he formed was the second – if not the first – best and well valued army in the country, but greed came into the scene in the form of people, and made him lose thousand times more than what he built in years.

Sudan is great country and Sudanese are good people, but we loose more when we follow our greedy thoughts. The war is happening and some are still taking advantage of others and acting so greedy in a way that makes us all lose!

In the end, let’s all fight the demon of greed and stop listening to its negative talking. And let’s build Sudan again. May Allah grant wisdom and positive thinking to our leaders to end this war.
