"L'avidité est un puits sans fond qui épuise la personne dans un effort sans fin pour satisfaire le besoin sans jamais atteindre la satisfaction"
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine always wanting more and more money, never feeling happy with what you have. Greed is like a deep hole that we keep trying to fill, but can never fill up. People who are greedy can work very hard all their lives, but they never feel content or happy, no matter how much they get. It's like trying to fill a bucket with a hole at the bottom – no matter how much water you pour, it always leaks out. In real life, think about famous people who have a lot of money but are always in the news for trying to get even more, often leading to stress and problems. It's better to appreciate what you have and find happiness in other parts of life, like family, friends, or hobbies. By doing this, you save yourself from endless worrying and can enjoy a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
