Greed is one of the Seven Sins.
It has earned a place because it gives one party comfort at another's expense.
Being in an economy-driven culture and a very merit-based environment, one might imagine that seeing GREED at work would be a norm. Actually, there are always more than one path to get to a destination - and the GREED path is never even the only choice.
Yet, many fall prey to it's lush path and easy road to cash and material goods.
It all stems from laziness, insecurity and the desire to go on an ego-trip. BUT when that ego-trip is paid for at the expense of another person's sincerity, then the trip becomes expensive. They do not realise that immediate gratification because of GREED has a lifetime of debt for them. GREED will never get away from cheating the SINCERITY. How fast the debt gets logged into the book, would depend upon how far gone they are.
After this week, I'm sure the interest would be accumulated faster than the neighbourhood Ah Long.
My advice to those, who scheme and plan to take advantage of another person using GREED as fuel is:
Don't, because when you haven't paid your dues, you will hurt, where it hurts most.
On the outset, GREED may have won
BUT in the end, one would end up paying more than you bargained for.
That is the truth, and THAT is what life is about.

I like the pink!
U know, i think what greedy people need to learn is that material goods, while comforting, can never replace the type of satisfaction and self-fulfilment that u get from rightfully earning something the honest way.
