Story of Greed

Dave Chappelle, the American Comedian,  recounts the below story of greed and how one needs to guard against it!

"I watched one of these Nature shows one time, and they were talking about how a Bushman entraps a Baboon,"

"And they do what's called a salt trap. I didn't know this, apparently baboons love salt. So they put a lump of salt in the hole and they wait for a baboon. The baboon comes, sticks his hand in the hole, grabs the salt, the lump of salt makes his hand bigger and he's trapped, can't get his hand out."

"The baboon could let go of the salt easily and take his hand out - and - find an escape out of being trapped...but he does not and gets trapped"

What a beautiful lesson here for all of us! What you think?
