How much land does a man really need?

A man needs enough land so he can be content with the things he have. Why should a person be greedy when god has blessed them with so many things already? Being satisfied is never enough in our world today. You have to have more of this and more of that and for what reason at all? I feel it is because of the movies we watch, the television shows, magazines, posters, etc all of this has an affect on why people want to be as high as they can. I'm not saying its a bad thing just don't become GREEDY and INCONSIDERATE.

For example with the man in the story his first big move was enough, he was happy his family were in good living. As soon as he saw he could get more that's exactly what he did and look what happened to him, he died. He was being INCONSIDERATE because now his family has to deal with his death and GREEDY because he wanted more land, for no reason at all!

If people don't stop being so selfish they're going to end up dead or with nothing at all. Happiness is the key to life. So again I say a man needs enough land to take care of his family, responsibilities, and most importantly himself.

The ending of the story I feel Pahom got all that he deserved! Greed never gets any person far in life.

You should love your life and live it to the fullest!
