Everyone needs grease, that’s extremely apparent. Most have to ask for it, and they should. A shopping cart without well-oiled wheels is a glorified basket. To navigate the purpose of the cart, all of its parts must function.

But- a wheel must be cautious of how much grease it squeaks for. At the end of the day, the wheel must be able to execute its primary function- an agent of movement. To be ‘grease greedy’ leads to gluttony and an inability to function as a part of the vehicle.

Too much grease ruins the wheel. The squeakiest wheel loses focus of its original job. It becomes spread thin and lacks the focus and ability to provide service. A wheel that cannot aid in movement must be replaced.

The properly greased wheel remains with the cart.
