Greed

Today's subject, little ones, is greed. Greed, is the belief that you can never have too much. Too much money, too much stuff, too much of anything. The fear that someone else has something bigger, better, more than what you have.

At what point does the need to have something better cross the line to the NEED TO HAVE MORE? I am not sure. Perhaps it is when the acquiring is more important than the item you're acquiring. Perhaps it is when you out grow your home because you have stuff everywhere but nothing that you really use.

Greed on a personal level is embarrassing. Greed on a corporate level could be criminal. Greed in our government, at any level, is frightening.
