Ever since my childhood I've come across different types of human beings, some are extremely good and generous while some are bad, stingy, greedy and have worst habits that are nothing to write home about. Some people behave so badly to the extent that other people will be careful of how they relate with them so as not to be in trouble.
I'm also human being that isn't perfect, I have my flaws but I try as much as possible to relate well with others, listen to corrections and make necessary adjustment when necessary. I believe when people correct with love, one will be careful of the things they say so as not to end up repeating the same mistake.
Being greedy is a terrible habit. It's an habit that's filled with selfishness and excessive desire for something. Greed has led many people to a very bad situation that they can't imagine they might be in life. Greedy people are covetous people who like amassing wealth or material possessions for themselves without thinking of the well being of others, all they know is themselves and that's all.
My Mom have a very stingy and greedy elder brother who happens to be an uncle who myself and siblings don't regard as anything because he doesn't care about his immediate family let alone members of his extended family. This man is a very good mechanic who is so skilled in his work and he has lots of apprentice he trained annually. He makes lots of money from his work but he doesn't care about the welfare of his family.
He is so stingy and greedy to the extent that he prefer to keep money in his mechanic workshop or with his friends than taking it home or allowing his wife know. He will pretend as if he doesn't have money when going home and when he gets to his workshop the next day he eats whatsoever he likes, spends lavishly in parties, on alcoholic drinks and ladies. He does the wrong things with his money and doesn't bother that the tides might turn.
You can't do business with this man at all and you have a gain, you will surely run at a loss cause he is so greedy and dubious to the extent that he would have gone ahead of you to cut corners so that he will be the only one to have the profit. His ideology about life is so bad, he believes that he is on earth to work and enjoy himself. He doesn't bother to train any of his 4 children beyond secondary school, he also live a desolated life from his siblings so that they won't disturb him with their problem. For instance, if my Mom should call him to ask about his welfare and that of his family he won't pick her call that present moment till like 2 or 3 days after before he call her back.
Then in late 2020, a man introduced a transportation scheme to him that he should invest in it. My greedy uncle was swept away by the profit the man said he would make without verifying how true the business was, so he jumped at the offer and the man duped him of all his savings and properties. After losing everything my depressed uncle remembered my Mom and his other siblings. The day this man travelled down to look for my Mom, oh my goodness! Trust my eloquent African Mom, She opened the man's book of remembrance for all his past deeds and I was so ashamed to say that he is my Mom's elder brother.
Everyone he ought to have rendered help to also deserted him when he needed help. Thankfully for him, he was still left with a Sienna car, so presently he is now using his only car for transporting people so as to earn end means.
My experience with him makes me know that stinginess and greediness are habits that can reduce one to nothing that is, it can make one to be worthless, having no value at all. You might think you are very smart, you didn't know that there is someone else where that's smarter than you so whatsoever you have, use it to help people that are in need so that when you are also in need, those that you have helped will also rally round you, there is gain in lifting others.
Thanks for visiting my blog and Happy weekend ❤️
