Morning, noon, and evening, when savory delicacies are spread before man’s eyes, Prince Greed aims to lure him into trouble by sending psychological spies to delude his powers of self- control by whispering:
*” Eat a little more today; never mind what will happen to you one year hence.”**” Eat more today; you can quit overeating tomorrow.”**” Never mind yesterday’s little warning of* *indigestion: just think how delicious tonight’s dinner is!”*
*” Eat today; never mind about tomorrow; who knows anything certain about tomorrow? why then worry about it?”*
Every time Prince Greed defeats a man, it leaves some slight mark of damage in the bodily Kingdom, a damage that gradually becomes irreparable and ends in death.
