Greed, or avarice, is an inordinate or insatiable longing for unneeded excess, especially for excess wealth, status, power, or food....Wikipedia
If the human greed can be solved, 50% of the world's problem will disappear immediately.
A lot of people are unhappy today, not because they don't have what they need, but because they are never contented with anything. However, it is important to differentiate between settling for mediocrity and not being greedy. Not being greedy is not the acceptance of circumstances not good enough. It does not mean settling for small things.
Greed has a negative connotation to it. A greedy person can compromise to get his greed satisfied; although greedy desires can never be met, because the more you get, the more you want. However, it is important to note that every human has insatiable desires, but greedy people go about satisfying these desires without a compassionate consideration of other people or things.
Why do you want to store up money for your fifth and sixth generations when a child close to you is dying of hunger?
The end justifies the means
Greed always end in a negative way. Most greedy people end up being frustrated and unfulfilled in life because they have long left the true essence of life in pursuit of their selfish desires.
My Conclusion
If it would pay you in the long run, don't do it.
Much love from me to y'all.
