da capo

I doubt greed is good or bad, although I am sure it is dangerous. Put a fence around it. I suppose it is more bad than good, if splayed onto a scaled and measured once. But that is to little point. What I'm sure of is that I am greedy, and that the management of greed is the driving of a wonderful little engine, that propels, or spits fumes, or some mix of both, depending on my care in managing it. To have good digestion and not grow consumptive: that's the beginning. And to look out at the world and drink in: that is the core. And to allow the osmotic transformations that come from selective permeation of within and without: that is the end.
