This is an odd coincidence: my fortune cookie from weeks ago said: “Be careful what you wish for because it might come true.” So I thought to myself, pshhhhh lies.

Now, little did I know that I “wished” for, or rather: really wanted was my business to flourish more than it already had (greed). SO IT DID, this week, overwhelmingly, more than I could ever imagine, more than I could ever thought it could reach: it did. The worst part is that I’m not really content about it, my mind cannot stop thinking about it - generally, dead, robotic and unhappy. My relationships: feeling nonexistent because I am not thinking about them. I was content/happy about life before…

I’m falling into the short story about the Monkey Traps. A short summary: Money traps are made with an empty coconut shell. Hunters cut a hole large enough for the monkey’s hand to fit in. They fill the coconut shell with rice (food) so that when the monkey will see it and place it’s hands in the coconut shell, grab the rice and get stuck. The monkey’s hands gets stuck because it is in a fist, which is too big to get out of the hole. The monkey eventually dies.

THE MORAL: The monkey dies from greed, it has the choice to get out of the trap if he just lets go of the rice. However, the monkey does not do that because he’s so blinded by greed and does not realize that it he already happy (and has enough food) around him, and just wants more.

BLAH!
