Wow! so many lessons in a single post. I think you just described your past, present and future @stellabelle in a single post!

Greed is definitely a human thing. Once you get something good, you tend to want more and more of it without caring for others who might just want a portion of what you have to be happy.

As for your future it sure sounds cool. A castle with creative minds living in it...that is a good dream.
