Contentment is being satisfied with where you are,
Without being envious of others or covet their wares.
Generousity is not shown only in extras or excess,
It is compassion, solidarity and cares expressed
Contentment does not crave for more by snatching or hoarding.
When content people desire to have more, it is to give more.
Contentment coupled with selflessness results in generousity.
Generousity without reciprocity expectancy is true contentment.
Covetousness is insatiable accumulation in disregard of others.
When a covetous is generous, be wary of baits and manipulation.
Covetousness is rooted in the entitlement to hoard all you make.
Thus, covetousness goes beyond defrauding others.
When you covet position, you defraud others of their virtues.
Maligning, scorning, backbiting in a friendly mien.
When you covet possession, you steal, swindle and pilfer.
The covetous is a potential murderer, lurking to pounce.
Contentment puts the soul at peace.
Covetousness puts the soul in turmoil.
Generousity puts the soul in joyfulness,
For both the giver and receiver, but the giver more.
God wants us to be content in His blessedness, envy free.
God wants us to be generous with His benevolence, greed free
God wants us to overcome covetousness, stress free.
Thereby manifesting true charity to all, blame free.
The generous makes the world a better place.
The covetous makes the world a bitter place.
The contented makes the world a safer place.
The contented and generous makes the world a super place.
