Hence, dear Grandpa -- both selfishness and greed vanish when this SELF vanishes!Rhutobello wrote:Well, even if we discuss greed like this....I more look at it this way....Taken from Wiki
Greed is an excessive desire to possess wealth, goods, or abstract things of value with the intention to keep it for one's self. Greed is inappropriate expectation. However, greed is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.
As a secular psychological concept, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs or deserves. It is typically used to criticize those who seek excessive material wealth, although it may apply to the need to feel more excessively moral, social, or otherwise better than someone else.

In my opinion is this a part of selfishness because greed benefit only the one who are greedy.
Let us now take some more about selfishness, because selfishness many times is used wrong toward people who have had success in life, but who aren't always what we can call selfish.
From Wiki
Selfishness is commonly denoted by strong concern with oneself or concern with one's own interests, to the detriment of others.[1] Selfishness is the opposite of altruism or selflessness.
So you see both goes on strong urge for oneself on the COST of other.
Yea, you are right....this subject was to discuss Selfishness from the window of Jyotish, and I was more looking out the windows of genes.Rohiniranjan wrote: Jyotish is an aliquot of the WHOLE, and yes it can remain an aliquot or simply the WHOLE! But never a BLACK HOLE! Of IGNORANCE, but some hard work is involved and it would not be found on Wikipedia ;-)

I therefore withdraw with a smile, and hope I have not been to selfish
Thx for allowing me to ramble a bit more, although what I say just is how I understand it, and not what is the ultimate truth.Rohiniranjan wrote: Let us talk about genes! did you know that each of us inherit two distinct pair of genes? One set coming from both parents but one unique set coming just from our mothers that I call MA?
Why did Mother Nature dictate things that way?

Candidate A :
29 mar 1972
time of birth 1:59 pm
City Bahadurgarh Haryana
This guy despite of being quite well off , got married in 2006 after having broken engagement once , was married to very educated professional woman , despite of her working status , if she ever needed, he was not ready to pay for even grocery alone in the name of domestic expenditures to opearte a home. Had a very clear strategy that if in case for child birth ,if wife cudnt do job for sixth months , He wud not pay for any expenditure or any bill of home, she should bring money from father as she didnt bring sufficient dowry. This man is raised in India , lives abroad and refuses to spend a single penny on wife , parents , brother or anything even after being financially very good. Girl finally left him and divorced him in 2008. Isnt bright or brilliant guy at all...
Head is flat , cheeks are big and shoulders also droop. But forehead is actually long and wide.Does this person have forehead that is kind of narrow (in height) and the top of head somewhat flattened and the cheeks somewhat prominent and shoulders drooping.
He is very dumb in communication , I have seen many having debilitated mercury but this one is really dumb (my apology for saying such things but it seems that Lordess Saraswati didnt like him at all), so parents had actually trained him with a very good camouflage act to hide his inadequacies by remaining silent in group conversations. To all and sundry he literally gives an impression of a very blank , conversationally challanged guy and also doesnt participate in any parties or any group activity , doesnt have freinds ,doesnt socialize at all.In fact they trciked that girl into that marriage to this dumb guy by creating a false emergency and getting courtship shortened , Girls parents got fooled by them. During courtship they had very few conversations which were mostly on phone which were very well manouvered and scripted with help of younger brother, as couple cudnt, in person, meet much.He also has a tendency to seem a bit distracted when he talks (as if he is thinking of something else rather than what the conversation is about, almost giving an impression that he is scheming something).
Suspiciousness was maximun about that she may fall in love with guys smarter than him in her own profession.He didnt fulfill any responisbility towards her , seeing him absoultely an unsupportive husband she left himbut eventually it hurt the marriage, through his attitude, suspiciousness (including her character, etc).
Mother is overprotective.there is some negativity associated with this individual's mother. Perhaps she has been overprotective and is in some way responsible for this insecure individual.
Even If he doesnt change at all , I would not be surprised.No radical changes would probably occur in his attitude but in the next few years, there will be certain changes and events that would make him at least aware of his follies and nudge him towards the right direction, which in his case is simply growth.
Thanks for input about first one.Vinay Jha wrote:@Certain :
