So recently I got hooked on watching American Greed, Con and few other documentaries of that genre. I heard often about some of these shows but never really got into it until recently. Greed seems to be a really common objective. I can’t speak for everyone however little bit of greed can’t be that bad can it? Little bit of greed to be more, to have more, to achieve more. But greed as a driving force to take from others well that’s not acceptable. Wanting more in life is not a bad thing but stealing or cheating to have more in life, well that’s just crossing a line. After all I still believe we live in land of opportunity.

From all the episodes of all the American Greed, Con and similar shows one of the worst ones that stayed with me is Martin Shkreli. This scum increased the price of a medication that helped millions of people. Now from business standpoint he might not have done anything illegal but from humanity stance he is the devil.

Another one really stuck with me is Elizabeth Holmes. This woman promised a groundbreaking revolution in medical science. The length she went to deliver what she had promised to the public and the investor, it’s actually horrifying.

The greed of wanting more no matter what it does to others is criminal. Personally I feel most of us want more out of life but I want to earn it. As the New England Patriots coach says there’s no shortcut to greatness. Well same principle for sucess, at least I am naive enough to believe that.

Well I am sure all of you have seen these individuals and their con on the news, social media etc. What bothers me the most is their absence of remorse and lack of compassion. Not just them, there are so many high profile scammers and con artists simply denied or chose not to accept any responsibility.
