“Why is there so much hunger and dissatisfaction in your eyes, boy?” Oki asked without dropping his gaze from mine. “Is it because you cannot get what you want?” “How would you know what I want?” “I do not know,” he shrugged, “but it makes no difference. I know that you will never get all that you want. No one ever does. It is good that you have that young hunger. It is what brought man to this point of civilization and it is what will make you successful in your own life, but it is also what will bury the world, and you, if you do not get it under control.” AUTHORS’ NOTE—Trapped on a fishing boat with the mean guide, Oki, the young boy in GO WITH is given a rough lesson on the ills of greed.
