5th arm: Perfectly styled people from the entertainment industry do their part to make us feel that we don’t look good enough. We never see them up close, but their appearance, and the way they seem to radiate eternal youth and freshness make us envious and we want to try to be like them. And yes, there is a remedy: today beauty can be bought. You can freeze away all your wrinkles with Botox . And there are many beauty clinics that use silicone to contour your biceps, breasts and buttocks to the shape currently on trend – anything you like and with little effort. Full lips, oversized breasts, Instagram face, penis enlargement? No problem. We now no longer have to worry about getting older. Greed for beauty and fame has created a huge industry that pretends to relieve us of all these worries. External beauty can be bought, and so hundreds of thousands worship their idols and forget to take care of their own well-being. To keep up to date, you look at what the social media stars look like, thus allowing yourself be manipulated by others.

8th arm: The greed for power and the apparatus necessary to maintain it requires enormous financial resources. In many countries, these can easily be obtained through the exploitation of natural resources. Whether it is diamonds, gold or crude oil – they have triggered the greed for our planet’s resources, regardless of the consequences. We can expect major wars to be fought over natural resources. This greed leaves only losers and toxic wastelands in its wake— once the process of ruthless overexploitation has begun, only dead industrial deserts will remain. Nowhere left to live for people, animals and flora; everything will be radioactive; contaminated water sources will leave us without the basis for survival. We will have finally succeeded. Greed, growing slowly until it reaches a point of no return, is capable of creating conditions that will make Earth uninhabitable: with it we will exterminate ourselves and very likely most other life forms as well.

7th arm: With increasing popularity, they suddenly want to try gain power over others, by becoming politicians, for example. More and more magicians, musicians and actors are entering the world of politics. The greed for power has shaped the history of mankind for so long and has ultimately brought only death and ruin. Eloquent politicians can easily spread lies and find enough followers to implement their political agendas, no matter how wrong they are. A charged socio-political climate, history has shown, regardless who is behind the greed for power, creates only losers in the long run. Greed for power manifests itself in many ways: a show of superiority, the claim to be right, the wish to impose one's will. Whether it is Buddhists expelling the Rohingya, Indian Hindus robbing Muslims of their livelihoods, Muslims bombing Christian churches, or crusaders forcibly converting infidels: throughout history, the power of religion may have done more harm than good. Attaining power through a show of strength, physical intimidation or even the use of weapons, leaves traumatized victims and robs countless people of their ancestral homelands. Power through drugs, criminal organizations, politics and world religions can tear apart established social structures and leave irreparable damage behind. Although it was difficult for people to check propaganda for truth before we had the internet, the internet has made it even easier for people today to produce and spread fake news and conspiracy theories and to make others believe just about anything.
