The vanity in wealth and riches

The quest for riches and wealth, the longing for more than we can even finish in a life time.. These are some of the undying thirst of the human nature. Could we ever kill out this monster that leaves us with a bad taste in our lips or would it die a natural death. Humans kill, steal, hate, betray and even start a way just for the desire for more wealth and monetary power to be quenched. Yet. The moment one desire is satisfied, the next spring up alive fighting it's way to life like a lioness whose cub has been stolen..
After gathering the riches of the world and commanding the most sophisticated gadgets best known to man. Either through walking the lonely path of hardwork and honesty or through the ever busy lane of dishonesty, corruption and the likes of it. Where does it all lead to? We end up lying in a box worth less than a thousandth of how much we've gathered leaving our dear flesh to the mercy of maggots...
How do we satisfy this longing once and for all. This is the question that runs through the mind of every person who has been a victim of a quest for vanity (if you permit me to call it). I must confess. The answer to this question lies just in front of you.

YOU CANNOT SATISFY THIS HUNGER.

So what then do we do? Do we let it control us, driving us mad just enough for us to still be called sane? Do we keep killing each other just so we can control regions and the treasures that lie within?

 I have decided to contribute my thoughts to finding a solution to what I think is the only disease affecting the world.

There's no way to physically satisfy the desires of the heart of men, especially when it involves wealth. This is plain human nature, you can't change it. But still, humans have mastered a way of reducing the drive of this hunger.. This is done by simply by love..

When love drives you, you no longer try to gather wealth for the sake of your singular needs. You no see the need to help people get to where you are.. That way, you won't have the need to struggle to take what they have for yourself,. Instead. You try to share what you have with them...
Have you ever wondered why you tend to share everything with the person you fell in love with without having to consider what would happen if you go broke
..

This is what love does... It drives you to put others before yourself. Makes you help people grow.. On steemit. I have experienced love in one way or the other. People have voluntarily decided to help me grow and make money..

For this I say THANK YOU. Especially to the admins of #steemschool. You guys are amazing.
