Do you believe that greed is good? I think of greed as a symptom of addiction. There are ways to see greed as harmless or even a maker of success. Well, lets be honest. How do you really feel about the word greed? Does it conjure up images of crooks, wall street, and fat cats. Do you think the concept of greed is relative to how an individual chooses to perceive it? What is your perception of greed?

I think that a lot of people are greedy in life, but I don't think there is very much that can be done about it. One of the things that is bad about greed is that it can take over people's lives, and they can spend their whole time just thinking about the things that they want to buy rather than thinking about their loved ones. People have to be greedy when they can, because they don't know what is going to happen in the future and if they need to save money at a later date then it would have helped if they'd saved up a fair amount in the first place.

I see a lot of people associate greed with money. That is an interested association. I would imagine that greed can also be associated with people who are always looking for something that they try to get for doing nothing. In other words, those that try to beat the system and/or lie.

Greed is everywhere. In my opinion it cqan only be viewed in a negative way. This is truly a "all about me" society and it seems that so many people are not happy with what they have and want more. I think many outlets have driven this attitude and see it only getting worse as time passes.
