“I need to return this car right now and get my money back.” “I’m sorry, no can do, Sir. We have a no return policy. You would know if you hadn’t yelled in my face earlier.” “No. I NEED my money back. You don’t understand.” “I’m sorry boy. It does seem that he who wants everything every time will lose everything anytime. When morality comes up against greed, it is seldom that greed loses. There is nothing you can do.” All of a sudden, a flash of light came in through the sky with a loud bang. The ground began to shake and soon enough, the whole place was shaking also. Another flash of light came down struck the man and all of a sudden, the counter went up in smoke. When the smoked cleared, I looked around and the entire parking lot was empty and all was quiet. I stared into the blank space. All that faced ahead of me was darkness. A vision of what my life had  become.

It does seem that he who wants everything every time will lose everything anytime. When morality comes up against greed, it is seldom that greed loses. There is nothing you can do.” I stared in shock for a few seconds but slowly came to the realization that this was the outcome of what I have done. The words this man has said finally hit me. I put my head down and slowly walked away. When I got back to my corner, I sat down in despair. If this is what my life had become, I didn't wanna do it anymore. I suddenly got up and ran in to the middle of the street. A huge truck was coming and all I could remember after that was darkness.

It does seem that he who wants everything every time will lose everything anytime. When morality comes up against greed, it is seldom that greed loses. There is nothing you can do.”  "Please. I'm begging you." "Fine." said the man. "On one condition..." "what is that?" I asked. "You need to give back." "what do you mean?" I asked. "You need to donate half of your money to people who actually need it." "Done." I say. I walked down the street to a poor family sitting on the sidewalk in rags. "Here." I said, as I handed them $3,000. "You need this more than I do." The look on the family's face was priceless. It was a look I will never be able to forget
