I have always been intrigued by greed. I wonder if there is a scientific or psychological explanation for it. I have been following the $54 million pants suit filled by a former administrative law judge. He sued a dry cleaner over a missing pair of pants in the District of Columbia (Washington, D.C.).
Not only were his actions morally wrong but they are shameful. The owner of the dry cleaners, Mr jin Chung, is certainly a hard working man who worked hard to fulfill the American dream. How can someone destroy someone’s business over a pair of pants? I don’t get it. As the Bateke of Congo say, “The leech that does not let go even when it is filled, dies on the dry land.”
