Acquisitions

From the Ferret Tarot, the Ten of Pentacles; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Monarch:

          All animals, including humans, have innate instincts that drive them to safeguard one's well-being, preserve one's species/race, and engage with others socially. Yet under this umbrella, humans have a wider group of instincts (enhanced and guided by emotions), as this chart by psychologist William McDougall shows:

Notice that acquisition is on that list - not a problem unless taken to extremes. As Bill Wilson wrote, "Every time a person imposes his instincts unreasonably on others, unhappiness follows. ...we are set in conflict not only with ourselves, but with other people who have instincts too." Enjoy your success little ferrets, but be careful not to mindlessly step on the paws of others.
