Greedy will not make your life a blessing

Hello guys, good morning.

Now I will tell you about "Greedy will not make your life a blessing"

Yesterday I had time to go to a place that was quite far, about 30 minutes by public transportation, when I left during the trip, the public transportation driver was very greedy. He several times overtook his fellow public transportation cars and other cars, so that the road was very fast which made me scared and annoyed.

Arriving at the destination he asked for additional money as payment, even though I had given him according to the applicable standard rate. Thus, I was forced to give it away even though I felt very annoyed at being rash.

As for returning home, I'm grateful, I don't take the same bus. Even this driver is very patient, walks at a good speed, doesn't like to overtake other vehicles, He also did not ask for extra money. He even got more passengers, than the previous driver.

Yes, indeed being greedy will not make our life a blessing, because it can be a bad prayer secretly from people who hate how we are treating them.

What do you think about it?

Private Bus drivers are like that here too. They will stop at the bus stops for a longer time to get more passengers without caring about the other passengers' time.

Here it used to be like that too, but the more we come here, the more competitors there are, which are much better, so we don't like to stop for long. Although without a passenger he kept on going.

I don’t understand why the bus company would allow the driver to demand extra money from the passengers. He should be reported.

I'm surprised too, but I know where to report. Because there is no contact person available. Or the car is his own perhaps.

It amazes me what people can get by with. Public bus drivers can't do that here, and if you tried, sadly, you might get punched for it. You are right that the moral bus driver will definitely be blessed.

If the passengers don't dare to protest here, at least the police will take action if they are caught. I'm glad to hear the driver there is fine.

@cacay1 Yes, you are right. Accidents often occur because of drivers who lack manners like that.

Good actions are always rewarded as karma is true. So, the greedy driver could get back what he has given in return and the good driver will also receive what he has put out into the world.

@cacay1 This is my opinion, he states a price and then he wants more.

Greed is like any other emotion, it can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on whether it's tempered by intelligence. It sounds like that bus driver was behaving in a very unintelligent way, driving dangerously just to get there earlier - and why should that oblige you to pay him more? If he'd crashed the bus, there would have been no profit for him or anyone else.

The driver was greedy he asked to pay more, maybe because he felt I could get to my destination faster. Even though I don't like it.

The public taxis in my country is just as bad when it comes to driving, luckily the prices for traveling are at fixed rate depending on the location you going to.
