Greed, Ugly Greed

Those with sufficient means are not the only ones who are greedy.  I have seen many poor people that were greedy.  In fact, it is one of the most common vices to keep people poor, greed!  Greed mixed with laziness is the most common combination that I have seen that keeps people poor.  The heavens often respond in direct correlation to the type of person we are.  If we are lazy, the heavens will be lazy with us.  If we give excuses, the heavens will give excuses with us.  If we are generous, the heavens will also be generous with us, in direct proportion to our generosity, and that also according to how pure our motives are, etc.
