Fear and Greed

Besides Relationships and Money, I also believe that one of our other prime motivator is Fear and Greed, an emotional response that enable us to make decisions that hopefully make us better off.


Yes relationships are important, and yes having money is good. But how do you know when enough is enough? 

Everyone wants to be loved (greed) and less of a broken heart (fear). So some will give more, some will give less. We're all different.

Money, is the same thing. You certainly wouldn't gamble all your money away at the casino, nor on a lotto ticket. However, if I tell you that this set of numbers is bound to win first prize, you would, so long as you know I am not lying.

Funnily enough. Research also shows that patients with prefrontal brain damage (the area that controls social emotions) are incapable of making decisions, for there will also be no fear, and no greed; there's no motivation. Which is why I believe emotions exist for a reason, use it, and use it well.
