Spare a thought for Pink Floyd's "Momentary lapse of reason". <br /><br />However, I am of the view that greed if endemic can become an addiction. As you are the erudite Bong, hoarding wealth even at the cost of denying self can become an obsession ......the same obsession takes the person to sacrifice a little child in order that it would protect it for posterity.<br /><br />I hope that after your sobering conversation you are doing your bit to check both temptation and greed lapsing into chronic addition!SB, Mumbainoreply@blogger.com
