Greed is one of the Seven sins.
It became a sin because when we are clouded by greed, all else doesn't matter except us.
It is selfish and a self-centered behaviour.
I guess it wouldn't have been a classified sin if it could not potentially hurt others and cause undeserving suffering.
Although we live in a material world, where we are sometimes judged by our spending power, it's not something to be snooty about and certainly doesn't give us the right to trample on others, who may not be rich in their wallets.
As my recent saga tapers to a close, I notice that although people work for money, people respect others who obtain such wealth fairly. When greed comes between friendships, then what is 'earned' has a worse classification than laundered money. Being a believer of 'the good prevails', I tend to practice fairplay with the hope that greed would stay away. It's an uphill battle, when you're up against greed and the power hungry - but I will get to the top of the pile, because of the good foundation in related friendships. It may be a tiresome climb, but if the beliefs are strong, there will be energy to make that happen.
Greed should be on our watchlist, like Malignant cells, SARS, AIDS - it's toxic and it's intention is to cause a fatality.
If anyone has been in contact with Greed, it's important to take counter-measures immediately and not allow it to invade the life-system.
If death is the outcome, that is just half the end, because our souls are still laden with the virus.
