| Greed, Greedy, Greedier |
Greed~excessive or rapacious desire for wealth or possessions.
   
Greed comes in all shapes, sizes, and form. There is a little too much greed going on in society and some psychologist believed that America is the land of the greed.
The world of Capitalism is what is making this country “Greedy” by modernized things to fit into the daily lives of people. The need for these modernized things makes people ever more “Greedy” then ever.
Everyone wants money and we all want a ton of it. We want the prestige that comes with having money and materialistic things. “Greed” can make honest men murderers. It has made countries with rich valuable resources into the poorest countries in the world.
“Greed” is also one of the 7 Deadly Sins:
Wikipedia-The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, is a classification of the most objectionable vices which has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct followers concerning (immoral) fallen man's tendency to sin. It consists of "Lust", "Gluttony", "Greed", "Sloth", "Wrath", "Envy", and "Pride".
“Greed” just makes people petty, devious, petty, jealous, and unlovable. “Greed” has caused men and women to commit crimes such as murder.
So the next time you want to buy yourself something nice, big, or extravagant, ask yourself this question: “Do I really need it or am I just wanting it because I am being greedy?”
I wrote this post because I have a family member that always has to out do everyone else in the family no matter what. He would put his need to out do us before the need to provide for his family. We have done the whole family intervention thing, asking him to get help, but you see the problem is HE does not see himself as having a problem.
Thanks for reading!!
