Intense nor excessive desire over something such as money, food, wealth or even love may lead to catastrophic consequences. People often perceive money or food as the right pair to greedy without considering other factors. Anything which causes discomfort to oneself or to people around them due to excessive wanting over something eventually labelled as greed. Here are some of the examples of a situation that commonly seen when greed arises:
- an authoritative person in a trustable organization receives bribe to run a project
- an obese lady excessively indulge over food who eats unhealthy food almost every hour
- mother of three kids rarely spends time with them, rather run after multiple jobs to earn more
- a possessive husband who physically and emotionally torture the wife if she ever speaks to another person
- a young man who constantly changes his job to due to lack of job satisfaction
We may see more as we walk through our days, at the time we tend to be subconsciously greedy too. Only realize when receiving a negative outcome or criticized for being such. Greed is not absolutely bad as listed above because it also can be observed in a positive angle called as motivation as follows:
- a terminal illness patient strives to live longer
- elevating knowledge by learning or studying higher
- expanding ideas and strategies to offer the opportunity to others to live
- the hunger to remain endless when participating in a sport
- the encouragement to keep updating one over the technology matters
Positive and negative are very subjective and depending on a person and their perspective. The right judgment will guide a person to live their life productively and also assist others to survive too. In simple, you are responsible for your words, action and thinking. Use GREED to honour and not to curse!
