"But the more honest I am about where I really am. The more freedom I actually have. The truth is I wake up every morning. Some days I'm optimistic, sometimes I wake up pessimistic, I can't control how I'm gonna feel, I would find myself even subconsciously blaming god for the bad feeling I woke up with rather than communicate with him and ask him to help me have a change of perspective.

It's easy to say damn their greedy rather than to check the greed in our own hearts. Only God can remove the greed and selfishness from our hearts. Trying harder won't work. Cuz I tried lol."
