Grandmothers of the world all say the same things.  It does not matter what culture they live in, or what language they speak, or what level of education they have.  All grandmothers give the same advice.

Don’t be greedy.  Learn to share.  Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Don’t be greedy.  Learn to share.  Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Don’t be greedy.  Too bad Wall Street guys didn’t have grandmothers.

Learn to share.  Too bad the developed world didn’t have grandmothers.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.  Too bad Israel and Palestine (pick your quarrel) didn’t have grandmothers.

Imagine, there have been no grandmothers anywhere.  How amazing.

Or, maybe, we all don’t know how to listen to our own inner wisdom.  We would rather be right, than be wise.

But, being right is very costly.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face, say grandmothers.
