Why too much isn't too good

If there's one thing that I have noticed and understood in my 22 years of existence on this planet, its this : "Greed is the destroyer". One should never want too much of a good thing. Its not good for the heart :-) (There are people who will say that its not good for the soul, but I beg to differ.) Whatever greed a person has, it is going to affect his/her heart eventually. This can be proved : Wealth and food are the two major greed causing stuff. And these cause heart problems by hypertension and high blood pressure. So, forget the soul, stop being greedy for your own hearts sake!

Money has similar effects; although its capability to cause damage is many times greater. Take for example what is currently happening to the English Premier League. The Champions of the League, both in terms of money and in terms of points, (Chelsea (for the uninitiated) have so much wealth that they don't know what to do with it. As a result of this, they have bought top players from all other leagues, in the process robbing the team of a good playmaker in one case, a striker in another, and the list goes on. So much so, that the current Chelsea manager can afford to rest an entire team for a match and can still have eleven superb players playing for him on the pitch. This has lead to unnecessary problems for managers of other teams, who aren't as lucky as one Mr. Mourinho, because they can't compete with his money! Michael Essien, who has been recently purchased from Lyon, was an absolute necessity for that team. In the scheme of things going on in EPL, he could have created wonders for some team like Manchester City. But since they didn't have the monetary power, there was no way he would have even heard of the team, forget playing for it!
