German psychoanalyst Erich Fromm once described greed as a “bottomless pit.” According to him, it’s a trait that “exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”
Such a statement couldn’t be more applicable to this story, where a landlord wanted an easy big payday at the expense of his tenant. He began overcharging and unjustly evicting the man who lived in his father’s home for nearly two decades.
The landlord eventually got his much-deserved karma thanks to the tenant’s act of malicious compliance.
