They Purposely Drop their Wallets in Front of Children. Their Reactions? Priceless!
We’ve all heard “finders keepers,” but is that how we’re born, or how we’re raised? Are we naturally greedy? The nature vs. nurture debate is wide and varied and covers almost all aspects of the human condition. Some personality traits we know are genetic. Some we’re pretty sure are learned. Others are not so clear cut.
Greed – or conversely, selflessness – is one of those traits. Some people firmly believe it is man’s natural state to be a greedy Gus.
