    Greed is Never Good

     

    In fact Greed is a sin and to be greedy is bad for your health and the health of others, in more ways than one. Those who believe Greed is Good, also without saying believe to be Selfish is Good, and to be Stingy is Good. In reality Greed, Selfishness and Stinginess make a three sided pyramid. One can’t exist without the other.

    Equal opportunity for all and greed are contradictory and mutually exclusive to each other to maintain peace and harmony among the world's people. That's why the world and even this country is in some of it's conditions (rich getting richer and poor getting poorer) today, leading to war, crime and great discomfort.

    Greed means wanting more than your fair share without giving back in meaningful ways. Greed means accumulating mass wealth at the expense of others and stability in the world. People who would agree Greed is Good are very short sighted, have very little wisdom and very little compassion for others who suffer.

    You don’t have to be greedy to get or be rich. So, all millionaires and billionaires are not greedy. Yes they are ambitious and successful, but if a millionaire or billionaire makes serious efforts to give back or help others become economically successful (i.e. spread the wealth) then this is not greed.

    Greed is an attitude and behavior, propped up by Selfishness and Stinginess that seeks to amass wealth and resources only for one’s self, at the expense and neglect of others, leading to crime, war and great discomfort of many others. This is why it is a sin.
