This story needs only internalizing!
Upon meeting a group of rabbis, Alexander the Great asked them to pay him homage. Referring to the Hebrew God, Alexander said to the rabbis, “I too am a king. I am also of some account; give me something.”
They gave him an eyeball, which he placed on a balance scale. He put gold and silver on the other side. No matter how much gold and silver he placed opposite the eyeball, he could not outweigh it. He said to the rabbis, “How can this be?” They replied, “It is the eyeball of a human being, which is
never satisfied.”Still not sure that this was true, and thinking that the rabbis were toying with him, Alexander asked the rabbis to prove their argument. They took dust off the table and covered the eyeball so it could not see the precious metals and long for them. Immediately, the scales tipped as the eyeball was outweighed by the gold and silver.
Humans are innately greedy and are never happy with what they have unless they make a special effort to be satisfied.
