Thing

If you ran away to a desert island, initially you would want for a whole lot.  Once you have shelter, food and water, you could sit back, eat a coconut and watch the sun rise, later, you could watch the sun set.  During the day the sun and beach would call to you to play, waves and sand, interesting sea creatures...Palm trees to lie under and gaze at the crystal blue sky and fluffy white clouds.  This isn't a vacation, it's your life, ahhhhhhh, how sweet it is, right?  Money isn't an issue, you have all you need, wanting more is unnecessary.  Thing, the money monster Thing wants you to want, wants you to crave more, lies to you telling you you don't have enough.  Thing drives the bus, demanding that you go where it wants you to go.  If Thing has attached itself to you, shake it off, it is a hungry beast that devours with ravenous never to be satisfied appetites.
