I think a lot of people dieing history died because of this reason greed. Like Adolf Hitler in his lust and greed for power, when tried to exterminate all the Jews because he said they looked bad in the country during the holocaust. Hitler brought a lot of attention to himself when he tried this war which caused the World War 2. I think if he was silent instead of trying to get greedy and being ambitious he would have survived. He wanted too much just like Pahom which lead him to death like Pahom.I think that man only need as much land as his physical bodyc ould handle because if you try and take too much you might end up like Pahom. Because in the story Tolstoy them of losing everything. In this story Tolstoy was trying to teach as lesson about what Pahom had gone through. See Pahom tried to take more than what body could handle and he passed because of what his greed for land. The whole theme was trying to teach a lesson and the dealer how gave Pahom deal I think that he now Pahom would suffer this fate because he the dealer was devil just like everyone else expect Pahom. The story was trying to tell people not try and get greedy if they hear a good deal.So I only think you should only try and get as much as you can handle because of what might be the consecience of your life or something else you treasure.
