Ambitious Greed

To Me 

Is your ambition still the same? Do you believe that you are still ambitious or that you have become something else? Are you still ambitious or has your ambition been corrupted? You convince yourself that you are not greedy and never have been, you are just ambitious. Now, look at what your ambition has made you become and what you have possessed from it. Can your ambition tell you that it has completed its cause and now that it has evolved into greed that can neither be quenched nor satisfied? An ether to the heart, a plague to the mind and cancer to the soul. What is that you desire that you do not have? What is that you have hoped for and it has never come to be? You were driven by ambition but now greed is derailing you. You are numb to the effects of being derailed by greed for you can no longer distinguish between greed and ambition. You want more yet you have everything. No, you need more yet you have all you want. You are fat yet you want to become obese. You cannot tell the difference between being fat and obese, the same way you can no longer distinguish ambition from greed. Do you now see that you were driven by greed, not ambition? Before you were ambitious when you had nothing it was greed that came first, hence greed drove you to become ambitious and all along it has been greed fueling your ambition. Now the fuel of greed has consumed the smoking mirror of ambition.
