ANGER GREED & JEALOUSY

Why would a "leader" who appears to be conscious of others be so greedy when it comes to stuff -- like food?  For example, imagine someone you know (I've got one in mind)  who claims to give generously, but always seems to have his or her hand out!  "Oh, who brought those cookies in?" Many are thinking, "Not you.  You haven't brought anything in the whole year, but you certainly have jumped in to grab what looks good." 

Why are you so GREEDY??? Why, when there are ten donuts in the break room do you take TWO for yourself when others (of our 100++ co-workers) are cutting a donut in half to leave something for their peers (friends even)?

But MORE importantly, why can't I say something?  Why do I let MY OWN MIND run away with my angry thoughts about this topic?  Why can't I let it go?  I think mainly because of my PERCEPTION of unfairness of the whole thing.  The "I'm going to get mine first and THEN you can have a slice" mentality that I see in ME - AND I GET ANGRY AT THAT.  And I see it all over.  Kids, Schools, Malls, (brings even more meaning to Bhagavan Das' statement that when he goes to the mall he feels like he's getting "mauled" -- ha ha)   I know it's not healthy, but I have no tools to successfully deal with it.

Why do I get so frustrated with that co-worker who gets to sit at his or her desk all day waiting for that email, that says, "I've got two tickets to the Red Sox" & the dipshit computer gazer who stares at the screen all day gets a little alert -- hey, you win, all of us here in the trenches loose. 

HELP!!  I'd love any comments….

We Shall Be Free

Garth Brooks - We Shall Be Free

This ain't comin' from no prophet
Just an ordinary man
When I close my eyes I see
The way this world shall be
When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread
When the last man dies for just words that he said
When there's shelter over the poorest head
We shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the skies and the oceans are clean again
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud
'Cause we shall be free
When we're free to love anyone we choose
When this world's big enough for all different views
When we all can worship from our own kind of pew
Then we shall be free
We shall be free

We shall be free
Have a little faith
Hold out
'Cause we shall be free

And when money talks for the very last time
And nobody walks a step behind
When there's only one race and that's mankind
Then we shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, walk proud, have a little faith, hold out
We shall be free

We shall be free
We shall be free
Stand straight, have a little faith

We shall be free
