Hi Guys, I'm a newbie. Got a lot of things going on my mind especially regarding Greed. I feel the need to open this topic with you all so I wont be blind sided. I do believe that by giving you feel satisfied about life and that blessing overflows. I don't seem to get it from other people who are too greedy for material things, for praises, for time and affection. At work, people seem to harm others emotionally just to have that position they longed for years. At home, other siblings think for themselves only and not even checking out on their parents how they are doing or how's their finances. With friends, there is always someone who wanted to be the center in everything. Who wanted all the praises and would think that they're the boss because they are the richest from the group. Mind if I get some feedback on this?

People were greedy because they have nothing.

Greedy its comes silently when someone feel greedy its mean that want had that hardly.

Rich people are greedy and shallow. They get rich by ... The fact is that some people do take advantage of others on their way to accumulating wealth. ... If so, challenge some of your core beliefs about money and see if a more balanced view of money can help you improve your financial health.....

I think some people are greedy of everything because they aren't contented enough for what they have. Maybe they have already experience the agony of having or lacking of something. Maybe, they just wanted to secure and have the assurance for their future. Uncontentment is human nature, they still try to have more and more

In my opinion other people feel so greedy in everything because they are not contented of what they have. And maybe they have bitterness in their selves to others who have than they have.

People greedy because they don't have God. Being greedy is a sin.

A person becomes greedy when they feel they are not wanted by the others.

Peoples greedy they are not contented of their life. They want to grab others wealth,  to prove their self that they are powerful.  But,  they dont know someday they will suffer consequences of their mistakes..

In Catholicism,  Greed is one of the seven deadly sins. Greed is the desire for more, and ever more.
It is a desire that can't be sated, because it stems from the Ego, a psychological entity that ones mind creates in place of identity. We identify as ourselves,  but the self is the ego, or personality. Greed stems from envy, and lust.
   The opposite of greed, would be charity. Instead of hoarding, you give. Giving respects the Law of Return, inwhich you give in order to receive, which will create balance.
   The Ego is developed subjectively,  through an individuals experience, that is to say, from trial and error. Experience is gained through our own personal journeys through life, the good and the bad. The ego is the personification of your personality. It "is" your personality, and it is quite moldable.
 Even though religion tends to float towards the extreme at times, it is the underlying message that is somewhat necessary,  because the subtleties it teaches you, which are about human nature, and psychology, by way of anthropomorphic analogies.

As is known, greed is one of the vices condemned by the majority of world religions. And he is recognized as a rare man.
Zhadina tries to take everything from life. But, alas, does not get satisfaction because of his insatiability.

It's just basic human nature - people want more and more, and be better than others, even if you still sleep just in one bed and eat from one plate.

Start living a lifestyle of being a minimalist meaning throw your other stuff away and pnly use what is essntial to you not to have more or less than what you need if you understand this you can try getting rid of greed by this method

Its natural human characteristic.You have to accept it. Nothing can stop it.

Agree with you.
And it is very pity, but most of people always try to get more and more money/emotions/attention/etc even if they already have enought.

For me being greedy means that the person need something that really important to him/her or missing in their whole life.

We should treat people same like they do to us. If not we will get hurt emotionally. We have to be good, but also we have to think about our selves. Just because you are rich doesn't mean you are the success. Anyone can be rich, but only a someone special can be rich in heart.

I've always been interested in this question, why so many people are stingy.

I don't believe in fairy tales.  I don't consider myself greedy.  :)

People are greedy because they are less thankful.
If they are thankful,  they will not do it.
They just think that they are the best and they are the right one.
Or i can say that they are selfish.  Never think about the others , they just think about themselves,  how to make them always number one and number one.
We can imagine if we are thankful,
We will not have negatif thinking.
We will let ktjer people do like we can do, see otjer people from positive side not as the battle.
What do ylu think?

You can't remove that from people, its our human characteristics. People don't know the meaning of whats enough and what is so much. They always wants to have more and more.

Not all people are greedy because they fear of God if they do something not good. But their are people also greedy to others because they want to get other's what they have. 

Maybe because naturally human are not contented with they have, most of the time they were asking for more to the point of greediness.

I guess they have no satisfaction in their lives that is why they always crave for more.

Absolutely yes, Mankind are born this horrible instinct called greediness. Nobody cannot stop this evil feeling. If human beings can get rid of this feeling, the world will become a better place to live in. But It will not ever happen.

IMO, greedy is our natural instinc and it's really hard to remove it off. So control it and you will become success cause you won't face with risks.

I think if the gov have better treatment or provide better sv, people have better life standard,they would not be greedy aass now

2 simple reasons: human nature an life quality
Some people are just lie that, others don't have basic living conditions and get like that.
Nature over nurture.

because they think that they accumulate everything when they are dying. they want bother everything. but at the moment they die they have leave everything expect their memory what they have done for others

I don't know why but most of rich people are greedy. I never met greedy poor person.. We should share with others who need your help to make this world better.

People tend to be greedy on everything because they are not content of what they have and they want more of what they deserve to have.

Has any of you never been greedy? Think about how you felt then and why you did what you did - there's your answer.

There are not all people are greedy. There are people who like giving more than getting. You must think more optimistically. You should start with yourself. You have to give a stranger something for nothing. This feeling is beautiful!

We cannot rebuke them because of what they are doing sir, we doesn't know what is the reason why they are doing that. Yes it is not good for us to act them like that, however, it is a fulfillment to them. It reflects their  experiences before, commonly negative experiences.   

People are greedy because they always want to be like others. Most people see their peers succeeding and they try to do everything possible, whether good or bad, to be like their peers or friends

Recently, people are really distinguished by increased greed. Unfortunately, this is a normal development of our society and is connected with technological growth. The more comfort people get, the more they want. Having received money and comfort the person aspires to receive also the power, and with acquisition of the power it needs more money and comfort. It is very addictive - like drugs, then a person ceases to understand what he is doing and what he wants, just increases his power and money.

That is so true. I also can't belive how some people are greedy. That is amazing. I think that comes from upbringing at first. Second financial problem. But people with financial problems are not greedy,which is rich people. They are scared of lose and having not ''things'' for them. Old
Jewish proverb say ''It is hard haave somethnig, then don't have somethnig''.

We are human created with imperfections. Each of us have been fall some part in our weaknesses. Don't be perfectionist. We have our own will freedom to do such thing. We have a brilliant mind that able to change on a twinkle of an eye. Let's focus on what is good to others. My idea.

It's such a person's nature. We want to have more. Although there are countries and religions where happy and small. I consider such a country to be India.

I think that all people are greedy, such a human essence. Would not you want to have more than you have? I think that everyone will answer positively.

It is a problem of measure. The natural insting to pursue one owns interest in many people gets carried away up to the real of greed, where you want more and more and cannot feel satisfied. Is like a healthy approach to sex versus nymphomania.

Cause we are living in a material world and i'm a material girl...say the song. there is nothing more to add.

That is what human nature is, that is his nature to be greedy, to be selfish, to be proud and boastful of what they have, and long for fame, glory and praise not unless they were change  internally by heart which only God and they themselves wanted it nothing happens...they were only be slave of what they called sinful nature... not unless one understand what life really is, and what sin do to us, we will not fully understand what's going on in us..many things in this world lure us and entice us to gain more rather than to give more..

It is natural for people to envy with each other , greediness is a nature in each of everyone . Because people wants was what others have . They envy others that is why people feel greedy. Jealousy is one reason why people feel greedy with other people. Because we are in material world where things that are valuable are important.

I guess a greedier a person has a better chance of succeeding and passing down their genes.

No matter how much you have, you will always want to have some more. It has always been that way, even rich people want to be even richer. This is probably the law of nature.

I think the major reason of men's greediness is uncontentment. Most of us wants to have more than what we have if there are chances. However, aiming too much is not right, we must work for it. There are people who already experience that hardship of having nothing that they don't want to experience it again.

Other people feel so greedy in everything because they are not contented in what God gave to them. They wanted to get all their wants even it is not important. They only want to take and take and they donot want to give.

Greed is not only a trait of character and quality of personality. It is also a socio-cultural phenomenon that can manifest itself in relation to anything - money, power, values, food, people. Greed is manifested in an active desire to accumulate, in the desire to have more. However, this quality can be said much more.

People has no contentment, it's part of our nature to be greedy and jealous for what others have. Even if some people already have a lot they never stop for wanting more. Even rich people get jealous and never get contented with what they have.

People results into greediness because simply, they aren't contented for what they have. All people become greedy for money, for financial supports or life assurance. Money provides us with everything- may it be more or less. No matter how large the amount in our bank accounts, we never feel fully contented or enough. People are greedy because they, let's say we, feel something that is missing in our life and we want that piece of us to be intact- therefore, we people always dreamt of a perfect lifestyle. Greediness starts within ourselves.

Its the natural behavior of the human kind I guess. We always feels not contended in everything even if we have enough. And that is why we are greedy on everything.

The scarcity of supplies and reged competition, too much materialism, covetous heart made people greedy for everything.

Not all, but for me it's because they are not contented of what they have. They keep on wanting more and more . We must have contentment in our lives.

They are greedy because what they want is to success just by their self and They are greedy because they are selfishly thinking of themselves and they also don't want to endure them because they only want is that they are only the one who should success. And when you are already a successful person they are going to pull you down because of their greediness.

Greedy people would rather get rather than give. But if you have God in your life, you will surely have a big heart and you do not need to be greedy at all.

That's to say that if you believe in god then you'd avoid being greedy. A lot of greedy people believe in god but are greedy none the less. It's really about the person. Selfishness, need to have more than what you need is a human emotion that's been there ever since and it doesn't have anything to do with a person's religion

Greediness is one of the deadliest sin according to Bible.  We do not know why they act liek that but one thing is for sure, they just want to secure something.  But it is too much and it is called greediness.  It is like selfishness.  Some people are poor because there are many who are greedy.

Other are being greedy in everything because of envy. This is because of lack of attention and they might not being loved as much as they needed it, so they were envious to those who gets affection that they don't be able to recieve. You're right that there are those greedy people that you can find at work, friends and even on families. I think if those people were given enough love by people around them they will be satisfied for what they have and won't feel such negativity in life.

When we talk about about " Greediness " It is always came from authority, and money where most people always got tempted on this things, were up to now in our generation people got greed because of money most of the time and enviousness could be the last thing of being greed.

This vice known as greed has now become part of us do to: lack of regard for others, short sightedness; not knowing that we'll all leave the wealth behind when we die, lack of morals like stealing and killing fellow humans. As long as there is continuous greed, there'll always be crime.

The green eyed monster always win  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

The reason is primarily the social depression of such people, they feel inferior, deprived, inferior beings in comparison with others. Therefore, as soon as such a person has the opportunity to get a little more, he considers it a chance for himself and tries to snatch everything that can be.

I think is an attitude they possessed.

Because they happy by being greedy. But greedy is bad for the people who greed in money, money is temporary happines.

I really think that it's part of human nature. People always want to have things that they see from other people that they don't have or can't have. Of course why would you want something that you already have. We never feel contented of the things that we have, and sometimes even if we already have too much we still want more.

The most common greed that human has is on money. We know that money can give you power, you can get the justice system on your favor so I think that's where the greed is coming from. These type of people don't want to end up with no cash because it can do almost everything so they want more.

People feel so greedy because they are lack of contentment thats why greediness is there character 

Greedinness is a natural act of some human being ,they usually greed for what they want,though they have all everything on their plate,but feel not fully contented at all.

I quite agree greediness is without doubt in every person in the world, Its a common human trait and am definitely not surprised, the greed of man cannot be sated because they are always asking for more and it is never enough at all.

I really think that people are naturally greedy. They always want to have all the things they see. They cannot be contented with what they have. Even rich people want to be richer. Some people want to have what other's have. They even feel jealous because they cannot have what they see on other people.

Someone who has been seized with greedy illness then he will not care about anyone or any good brother, friends or friends though. The most important thing for him is able to satisfy him. What is the attitude that is never satisfied to have something by way of hurt orinsulting others.a greedy person will feel that what he does is good even if others see it as evil.

This morning it was reported two Qatari sisters were robbed of jewellery worth £4.5MILLION in a daring heist in the French capital.

It's like this if you be greedy to a friend a family member or someone in your area then the damage done
is nothing compared to lets say what a POLITICIAN does ..

The greed they do affects the whole nation so the whole nation feels it ..
If bad your nation feels the bad ..

If your greedy like robbing or tricking your so called friends or family then the effect doesn't effect the whole nation ..
So when people talk about greed a lot of difference when we talk about political greed ;)..

So if i was you invest in BRITISH COMPANIES they are safe in law..

Not like EU law VERBAL COST ::)..LAW

They feel so greedy in everything simply because they want to have everything, which isn't possible.

All of them are because of the typical human characteristics. With the social background the competition between the people goes up. With this competition each and every person want to earn as much as possible for their own. Then they become greedy for everything.

The greed has no bottom .When you want something after you achieve, you will definitely want something else that is better, that is why human development

Because with greed they can earn more things and feel more superior than other, and the greedy person like to see other suffering, so they take and hoard as much as possible, but greed is not good, one day it will destroy the people, greedy person only love himself/herself

Greediness is as a result of covetousness, what you have  must be enough for you not that you will be looking for possible means to take others people belongs. When someone is greedy it can kill ,steal and destroy.

I think there are other people who are so greedy because they think only of themselves.They are not satisfied of what is enough and wants and crave for more

I think people become greedy because they are not contented with what they have.. Praises, money, position these are all materials things thay cannot be taken with us when we die. I beliwve people who are greedy doesnt believe in God above and afterlife. Because if so, they will know tjat greediness is not a goid thing to do and feel.

Because they believe that money will bring them happiness and piece of mind, but the truth is that it does not happen like that.

There are many reasons why people could be greedy. First, there are those people who experienced to have nothing and when they were given the opportunity, they are no longer allowing that same thing to happen so they take more than what is needed.

There are also people who are so competitive that they cannot handle to lose or being rejected. They don't like the idea that someone if more superior to them or that they are on the losing end so they tend to be greedy not because they want the prize but they wanted to win.

Because of discontentment and unsatisfaction. People don't appreciate small things around them. They are not satisfied with small achievements because they wantesld more. They even want things even you cannot afford. The result is covetousness. Being greed is being covetous.

It is not necessary to say that they are greedy. Perhaps just a man with a hard time got a penny given and it is important for his family and he can not sacrifice it. They are deputies, all sorts of ministers, because they are accustomed to having everything in chocolate.

They wanted  to get everything that is being greedy. When they are obsessed and want to get what they wanted in life.

In my opinion, other people feel so greedy in everything because they want everything, they are not satisfied and contented to what they have right now. I've known this person that he have everything or should I say he is blessed enough because he have house and lot, cars and money but their's one thing that they don't have it is LOVE. The woman that his looking for, the love of his life or he said the ONE is not in love with her or she don't have a feeling for him and he don't want to feel rejected that's why he dont pursue her. That's why he doing the things where he is the best and where he knows that he can be succesful and he can win in the game.

I think because of discontentment in life, And I would agreed to somebody said that there are lot of greedy people due to in real life they nothing. Because of don't have anything to their life, they're thinking everything which is a bad things that leads them to become greed.

Greed is thinking about yourself most of the time, without caring about what the other person feels. Greed destroys friendships, relationships, and is the root cause of bigger mankind troubles like war and corruption. If you don’t control and become aware of it, your greed will only increase with each passing day. And even if you fulfill your every desire you won’t be able to live a happy life, because it’s the nature of greed to desire for another wish when one wish is fulfilled.

Being greedy is good after we work hard to get what we want.It normal went you take the things more than we needs.Sometimes people being greedy for to satisfied them self because they don't like to sharing to others people.

Greed is something that is hard to resist. There is nothing with wanting more as long as you are doing things the right way. It will only be greed if you are taking more that what you can consume. To continue to want something is not bad. We need it in life in order to succeed. Not wanting anything means that you will not do anything and be complacent on who you are which is sometimes can be a bad thing to do. We need to continue to strive for more to be more. Life is too short to worry about being greedy.

They feel greedy because they think they are the only ones who should benefit in some things. They think they have the authority.
They think they’re powerful than other people. They want to have it all and doesn't feel contented.

Because they want all to themselves, dey don't want others to have

Because they are not contented to their life.  So they feel to get other wealth. 

Nowadays, Parents should not be talking about money especially in front of their children. As I have noticed, people nowadays are so sensitive when it comes to money, it feels like they want more and more money.

my opinion about greed is because it is the nature of which is owned by every human being, who is never satisfied with what it already owned until the man died

A greedy person is someone whose primary goal in life is to get more and more of something they wants and their focus is on getting it. People feel so greedy because they are not contented with the life that they have especially the material things they have in comparison with what others have.

for me, the reason for being greedy in everything is discontentment of what they have or what they achieve, and sometimes people tend to be more greedy if they were being ignored and unacknowledged by other's or by specific person they want to impress. The feeling of being neglected is really hurtful, that's why others become more and more greedy, they will not stop, unless their status or position is secured and satisfied of what they have.
