Greed is Good.

I was reminded about Michael Douglas today... in that Wall Street Movie.. he said  "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much."

      I really don't remember that paper company, and I really don't remember that movie, but I remember the tag line. GREED IS GOOD. I think that's true. I want things. Don't you? Things out of life. Things that sometimes life gives me... (aka: five year old greeted me with "morning Cutie") and the things that life has yet to give me  "A job I'm REAALLY FuhMAZINGLY good at". I want TIME. I want ENJOYMENT. I want to know when I'm having that "I'll never have THIS again moment", so I will fully SAVOR it. I know that time is flying by me and I can't capture it. I keep getting older, my kids keep getting older and it's a helpless feeling. I have GREED.  I have it for life. I want to live. I want a picture of me on some stupid far away beach, to remind myself that I lived. Or.. on a mountain top somewhere.. (hopefully with a very competent Sherpa). Or.. a Christmas morning when the 8 yr old gets the PERFECT gift.  I want money. I like money, not gonna lie.  It buys stuff, like make-up and nails.. praise the LAWD.  I have greed for LOVE. I believe in it. Nothing is better than a hug from someone who loves you "all the way to the moon and allll the way back"  I have GREED for KNOWLEDGE. I want to know sh*t. I want to know something that someone else doesn't already know.. and use it to help people, or at the very least, have the right answer in class before someone else.... I think that movie was right. GREED is good.  GREED can work.. It can cut through all the silly stuff to the really important stuff. I want EVERYTHING. Everything that this world has to offer, I want it... and then I want some more. Because Greed is good... Just a little Michael Douglas reverb for ya Wednesday.. Jus saying. :)
