Safe Harbour On Both Sides

No Revenge rightful position is contentment. Wanting more than your rightful place is greed. Had the man remained content, he would not only have kept his position but would likely have grown further. But by choosing the path of greed, he lost what he had—and what he could have gained. When you want only what is yours, you are asking for something that naturally belongs to you. But when you want more than what is yours, you are demanding something that belongs to someone else. Why would anyone give up what’s rightfully theirs? This is where conflict begins. The moment someone overreaches, others resist. Struggle and rivalry begin. And often, in trying to get more, a person ends up losing even what they already had. Wanting more than your due also leads to contradictions. You use one argument to claim your own share, and another argument to take what belongs to someone else. In doing so, you weaken your own case. You refute yourself. You confuse your own position. Such a person fits the saying: “The one who chases two rabbits catches none.”
