Greed


What a topic – has been something have spoken of time and again and yet find it so ironic that years later suddenly a little of what I have said all along makes sense. Greed is not good never has been never will be. Green helps no one not even the person practicing, in fact the word for the person who practices greed is glutton. 

  • My personal definition of greed – taking something you do not need and have not earned typically from someone else who did at their detriment because in your childlike behavior you want it and somehow feel entitled to it not because you need it but because you saw 
  • Greed is defined as the desire for the pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It is generally considered a vice, and is one of the seven deadly sins in Catholicism

I will never say people like Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump (albeit through the help of the foundation his father created) should not have every dime they do, my problem lies in employees of people who have not earned through work and merit compensation beyond what they are do. 

Watch all of the videos and let me know what you think

  • Is greed good or bad?
  • Are people inherently selfish or selfless?
  • Is making money itself more important than how you make money?














Yes, this guy is gay but think video makes a point about appearance vs substance (illusion)
