Coffee or Tea? None?

More often than not...
people... humans...
take everything for granted...
greed... is in the nature of most...
we are all born with greed...
always wanting everything to our possession...

we are never contented with the amount of money we have...
garfield is never happy with the amount of lasagne he can have...
America is never contented with their own oil...

greed is what drives everybody...
and it is also greed who will kill everybody...
got an inch... wanted a metre...
always wanting the best of both worlds...

here's a scenerio...
there are 2 conveyor belts...
seperated from each other by 10 metres...
one of each had a cup of coffee... the other a cup of tea...
both moving at different random speeds...
u cannot forsee which will reach faster...

coffee moved 1st... u stand at the belt waiting...
wanting both cups... u think... after collecting one... u rush over to the other belt and collect the other cup...
tea moved faster...
u rushed over to the other belt...
when tea is abt 2m from drop off point...
coffee suddenly moved very fast...
thinking u could rush over and collect the coffee... then rush back to tea...
u ran over...
but u were too late... coffee spilt on the floor...
rushing back to tea... it's already on the floor...

you wanted both...
yet ended with none...
if you could just wait at a single conveyor belt...
you could guarantee yourself with a cup of either coffee or tea...
no matter how fast or slow it moves...

a see-saw... one goes up... the other goes down...
u can never have both sides up in the air...
the only way is to break it in two... and have both held up in the air...
but what's good with a broken see-saw?

one can never have the best of both worlds...
