They con my mom... RIP Kirk Douglas. ?. GREED is one of? seven basic character flaws or “dark” personality traits. We all have the potential for greedy tendencies, but in people with a strong fear of lack or deprivation, Greed can become a dominant pattern. What is greed? Greed is the tendency to selfish craving, grasping and hoarding. It is defined as: A selfish or excessive desire for more than is needed or deserved, especially of money, wealth, food, or other possessions [1] Other names for greed include avarice, covetousness and cupidity. Selfish and excessive desire?is widely?considered immoral, a violation of natural or divine law. For example, “avarice”?is one of the seven deadly sins?in Catholicism ( avarice:?pleasing oneself with?material acquisitions and possessions instead of pleasing?God). And according to Buddhism, “craving”?is a fundamental hindrance to enlightenment ( craving:?compulsively seeking happiness through acquiring material things). As with the opposite chief feature of self-destruction, greed stems from a basic fear?of life. To be exact, greed is driven by a fundamental sense of deprivation, a need for something that is? lacking or? unavailable. When this feeling of lack is particularly strong, a person?can become utterly fixated on seeking what they “need”,?always trying to get hold of? the?one thing that will finally eliminate the deep-rooted feeling of not having enough. That one thing could be money, power, sex, food, attention, knowledge … just about anything. It could be something concrete or abstract, real or symbolic. But it will be something very specific on which the entire need-greed complex becomes fixated. Once that happens, life becomes a?quest to acquire as much of it as possible. Components of greed Like all chief features, greed involves the following components: Early negative experiences Misconceptions about the nature of self, life or others A constant fear and sense of insecurity A maladaptive strategy to protect the self A persona to hide all of the above in adulthood Early Negative Experiences In the case of greed, the early negative experiences typically consist of insufficient or inadequate nurturing in early childhood, perhaps enough to threaten the child’s survival. All infants are born with a natural desire for love, nurture, care, attention and interaction. In some cases, however, the? source ?of such things?notably the caregiver?may be absent or unavailable. Perhaps not all of the time, but enough for the infant to experience the lack. Enough for the child to become terrified of never getting enough of what he or she needs. The situation could be natural and unavoidable, like?the untimely death of a parent, or living through a time of famine. Alternatively, the situation could be deliberately imposed, such as willful neglect. Another example would be a mother who is too off-her-head on drugs to look after her child. Whatever the circumstances, the effect on the child is a sense of deprivation, unfulfilled need, of never having enough. Another common factor in the formation?of greed is the availability of substitutes. Imagine, for example, a?parent?who fails to provide nurturing but ? out of guilt ??provides lots of gifts in the form of money, toys, chocolate, TV. In effect, the parent says “You cannot have me, you cannot have what you really need, but ? hey ? you can have this instead. ” Ultimately, the substitute is always inadequate. No amount of TV can make up for lack of human contact. No amount of chocolate can make up for lack of love. But the child learns to make do with whatever is available. Misconceptions From such experiences of deprivation and lack, a?child comes to perceive life as being unreliable and limited ? but also containing the missing ingredient for happiness: My well-being depends on me getting all that I desire. I cannot truly be myself, a whole person, until I get what has always been missing. Life is limited. There isn’t enough for everyone. I miss out because other people are taking my share, getting what is rightfully mine. Once I have it all, I will never lack anything ever again. Over time, the growing child might also become cynical about what life has to offer: All I ever get are unsatisfactory substitutes. I cannot trust anyone to give me what I need. If I am given a gift, there must be something wrong with it. Everything falls short of my requirements. Fear Based on the above? misconceptions and early negative experiences, the child becomes gripped by a specific kind of fear. In this case, the fear is of lack ? of having to go without something essential as there may not be enough of it to go around. What exactly “it” is depends upon the individual’s own idea of what it is they really need, but it will be something specific like love, attention, power, fame, money, and so on. Because of this constant fear, the individual will obsessively crave the “needed” thing. They will also tend to envy those who have that thing. Strategy The basic strategy for coping with this fear of lack is to acquire, possess and hoard the “needed” thing. Typically this involves: obsessively seeking the chosen substitute for the original lack; compulsively acquiring it; hoarding it; preventing others from acquiring it; criticising what is available (in the hope of eliciting something better); blaming others for failing to provide enough. Persona Finally, emerging into adulthood, the chief feature of greed puts on a socially-acceptable mask which says to the world, “I am not selfish. I am not greedy. I am not doing this for me. See how generous I am. See how my possessions make other people happy. ” In fact, the greedy person is never happy so long as the possibility of lack remains. The mask of greed can also manifest as criticism of others’ greed or selfishness. The chief feature thinks to itself: If it isn’t socially acceptable to crave and grasp and hoard, I shall go around criticising others who crave and grasp and hoard more obviously than me. That way, people won’t suspect how bad I really am. All people are capable of this kind of behaviour. When it dominates the personality, however, one is said to have a chief feature of greed. The survival instinct in greed Because the compulsion of greed is usually driven by some early, traumatising sense of deprivation that may be lost to memory, it often manifests only later in childhood, adolescence and adulthood as one of our most essential survival instincts comes into play: competition. Competition for resources is a universal instinct and one of the most important factors in biology. Different species can compete for the same watering hole, for example. Within the same species, males can compete for the same female, or for “top dog” position. At an instinctive level we are still like hunter-gatherers who survive against the odds by making sure we have what we need. The cave-dweller within us is still primed to hunt, catch, gather and hoard. We are also a tribal species who will instinctively take from other tribes as a desperate measure to feed our own. This is pretty much what all post-apocalyptic movies are showing us: take away civilisation, and we soon return to “acting like animals. ” (Except that animals, of course, animals don’t usually take more than they need. It’s not a very efficient use of energy. ) Greed in action Let’s now unpack the elements of greed in action to illustrate how it works and what it feels like. Compelling need By definition, greed is a compelling “need” to constantly acquire, consume or possess more of something than is actually necessary or justifiable. You would experience this subjectively as an all-consuming lust, hunger or craving for something (money, sex, food, power, fame, etc…). This might be triggered by suddenly seeing the object of your desire, or an opportunity to go after it. Underlying the desire, however, is a terrible insecurity, a primal fear of lack or deprivation, though this is likely to be more unconscious than conscious. On the surface there is just the compulsion to satisfy the need. Risky commitment When the “need” is being strongly felt, you become compelled to commit a great deal of time and energy to seeking and acquiring your thing, setting all else aside. The only clear course of action, it seems, is to try and satisfy this longing because, after all, it promises to give you that long-lost sense of security. Others might question your peculiar commitment and determination, given that it seems you are willing to risk everything over this personal obsession. But you can always find a way to argue the case: “This is important to me. It will make me happy. It will make you happy too. And if I do happen to end up with more than I need, I’ll just give some away… Everybody will thank me for it! ” Brief gratification Sometimes you might achieve success in getting what you seek. And in those moments when the elusive object of your desire is actually in your hands you experience truly intoxicating feelings of triumph and relief. However, these gratifying moments are all too brief… You feel that the “win” was just not enough. In fact, there is no such thing as enough. Despite all your best efforts, and despite every success, an abiding sense of security or fulfilment is never reached. The overwhelming desire is literally insatiable so long as the underlying fear is never addressed. Harsh realities You may then experience frustration at the transience of such pleasure, especially given the investment of time and energy. (“Was it really worth it? ”) You may experience shame and guilt over the damaging effects of your actions upon your relationships, reputation, financial security, etc. (“What was I thinking? ” “I’m hurting the very people I love. ” “I’m ruining my life when it’s all been going so well. ”) You may feel overwhelming anxiety over the uncertain future (“I’m on a slippery slope to

Greed is not merely "I want more". Greed is "I want more than everybody else ". Thus the majority of people are forcibly kept poor because if everyone had a million dollars, a loaf of bread would cost a hundred grand. Nickname for anyone who believes profits are more important than people. ( Not as nasty as the nickname the greeds have for non-greeds, which is "idiots. " But then again, non-greeds aren't as smart (or vicious). {half-sarcasm intended} The greeds have organized individually, and via both corporations, and government to: a) limit the power, health, and well-being of the general public via new laws and regulations; b) remove established standards of living, and encourage the workplace to disregard the concerns, safety, and respect of the workers; c) amass excess wealth to one or two percent of the people, to the detriment of the majority; d) unduly influence a significant number of remaining middle-class persons via false, excessively biased, and misleading news reporting (as well as over-riding previous FCC policy that endorsed truth in journalism with 2004 FL appellate court ruling stating that there is no rule/law that says journalism has to be truthful); e) disenfranchise, encourage, and institute new policies and laws limiting, and eliminating, voter rights, aka voter suppression; f) utilize and increase pre-existing bias and intolerance to further divide the majority against itself; and f) continue these and other previous disingenuous reorganization efforts.

Greed is Kill by Edward Elric, the Full Metal Alchemist, in Ep 34. "The reason that greed was imprisoned, Is because he wouldn't have sex with envy. " - # Chopstick (irc. rizon) 1. The pursuit of things that one already has an excess of. 2. Not wanting to use any excess of something to help mankind in anyway other than benefiting or bettering themselves. Also one of " The 7 Deadly Sins.

The billionaire is greedy for a non-greedy person would not care as long as it would go to the betterment of a person in need. In an extreme case of greediness the billionaire may try to make it seem like donating to the Salvation Army is a scam and they keep the money for themselves.You‘re perfect, you‘re beautiful You look like Linda Envangelista and you don‘t know the words to Greedy ?.
