gets boxes with junk. There is only one way to make grabber get rid of junk – to persuade to sell. But he won’t sell cheap.
An example of a selfish woman – a Box from Gogol’s “Dead Souls”, which thought, how not to undersell, she wanted to sell more expensive “dead souls”. Another example of a selfish character – a squirrel from the cartoon “Ice Age”.
The notion of property – the notion of the “eternal and integral” right of a person to private property – has grown from a selfish greed: “Mine! I will not give it!” grabbers are ardent owners, zealous apologists of a private property.
The grabber considers the wife (or husband) own property too. The grabber has always a marriage of convenience. grabbers like to conclude the marriage contract. For them, marriage is a deal “you – me, I – you”. When divorcing the selfish person will certainly try to bargain more junk.
Grabbers are very jealous. Jealousy – generation of greed too. Mutual jealousy is called the competition. Competition arises when one is jealous of others as the object of lust. Competing with others, the jealous person strives to get ahead of everyone, before reaching the desired goal. The competitor is encouraged with a feeling of greed and lust.
No need to assume that greed, envy, greed are bad feelings. For example, A.S. Pushkin believed that “Envy is a competition sister, consequently from a good kind”. The poet presumable has written this phrase in 1831. (First published by P. V. Annenkov in the Collected Poems, 1855, vol. I, p. 288.)
Grabbers are called “stuffy” people. They say about them: “from greed the toad strangles”.
Grabbers eat a little, economically, if at their own expense, but at other expense eat greedily, until dumping. Their motto is: “What I do not eat – then I will bite’
Grabbers can be good speculators and second-hand dealers. These are bright and prudent businessmen who measure everything on money and sensitively react to change of market condition. Their god is – the Golden Taurus. They are corrupt and unprincipled. For the sake of profit, grabbers will easily break laws and moral standards.
Grabbers are self-serving people. Self-interest – this is a vested interest. The grabber is looking for benefits in everything. He lives according to the saying: “The fish seeks, where is deeper, the man – where is the best”. He works only if he sees a direct personal benefit for himself. Whatever he does, wherever he serves, the grabber always works only for himself. For the sake of the idea, for the sake of society, the grabber won’t work. On grabber “where you sit down – there you go down”. It is better for him to use piecework payment for labour. At the time rate, the grabber will work with “the left hand”: and why should he work at all if they pay for the time spent at work?
The most favourite position of grabbers in an army is a position of the supplier, quartermaster. At all times, in all countries, all peoples had quartermasters who stole supplies and rations. Not for nothing to say: “To whom – war, and to whom – mother dear”. Therefore, the order in the army always began to lead from the fact that the thieves-quartermasters were shot. Generalissimo Suvorov not for nothing said that any quartermaster, who served for two years in one place, can be hung without trial and investigation.
MISTRUST
Another feeling associated with the role of the grabber is a feeling of distrust, suspicion, doubt, scepticism.
The grabber is extremely distrustful. Like Thomas unbeliever, he will not believe until he feels it.
Thomas… told them:
if I see wounds on His arms from nails,
and do not put my finger in wounds from nails,
and do not put my hand in His ribs I will not believe.
(John 20:24,25)
Mistrust creates a way to check everything. The grabber never asks the road once. At first, he will ask the road from one passerby, and then will begin to ask the same about the other.
Mistrust and suspicion generates grabbers to have such feature of the character, as caution, circumspection, the desire to “keep their head down”.
Greed together with distrustfulness makes grabbers to be thrifty. Especially they like to stock up with gratuitous or cheap things. They have long-term stocks, and at the real grabbers – and multiten-year stocks.
Grabbers” suspicion is shown in their aspiration everywhere and in everything to see someone’s intrigues. They sow the relations of general mistrust and suspiciousness, strive to arrange “witch-hunt”.
The suspicion and distrust of the grabbers can be outweighed only by their greed. The feeling of distrust and suspicion is always mixed up with a feeling of greed and jealousy; both these feelings are associated with grabber’s role. The grabbers conflict of distrustfulness and greed is a source of grasping habit.
If the grabbers give money, then only for a credit, at interest, only with benefit, only for a loan or other guarantees. But on the pledge of the word they do not give for a loan. They “do not beg for snow in the winter”.
It is better not to lend money to grabber – he will do everything not to back the money. You can completely lose contact with the selfish buddy if you give him a small amount of money for a loan – he will stop meet with you under any pretexts, just not to back money.
As grabbers are tended to the theft, they the first notice other thieves – “a fisherman sees a fisherman afar”. They suspect all in theft and laceration aspirations, because they are familiar.
The role of the suspicious grabber is a role of a watchdog who watches for a junk. And often this is the role of “dog in the manger” – it does not eat and does not give to others.
The suspiciousness of grabbers makes them vigilant. It is almost impossible to slip past the self-guard, caretaker or auditor. But he can be bribed. It will not be cheap, but possible. grabber’s motto: “Serving the Fatherland, do not forget yourself!”
The feeling of mistrust is also called a feeling of scepticism, a feeling of doubt. grabbers this is people who are sceptical, doubtful at all, taking nothing for granted. grabbers are people of a critical mind, they are pragmatists and realists.
The fashionable phrase that “real people sit on unfaithfulness” (i.e. doubt everything, do not trust to nothing and to nobody, check everything and recheck) is one more illustration to feature of the character of the grabber-realist. The feeling of mistrust is called the feeling of the real.
The developed feeling of mistrust and suspiciousness of grabbers generates a tendency to hide and conceal money and valuable things. “It is a quiet Ukrainian night, but you have to hide fat!” – this is about grabber. It happens that grabber on a drunk “will break for treason” – he will hide money, but, when become sober, he can not find them.
Realism, distrustfulness, thrift, business grasp this is what called the pragmatism. The pragmatism – is a selfish feature. Therefore, the role of the grabber can also be called the role of the Pragmatist.
ANXIETY
Except greed and distrustfulness, in a selfish corner, in a selfish nook of soul, there still lives the feeling of an anxiety, concern, frustration.
The feeling of anxiety (concern, frustration) in a strong manifestation is called a state of “nervous platoon”, nervous excitement, annoyance. When a person does not want to go into such an emotional state, he says: “Do not nervous, do not irritate me!”
The person who, having looked at the watch, has understood that he has overslept that he is late usually passes into a condition of nervous excitement. He jumps sharply and begins to gather feverishly quickly. The “alarm” command, which
