Greedy People Are the Lifeline of Our Society/ World!
Greedy people are the Lifeline of our Society/ world! What if I say greed is good- greed to lend a hand to the poor, greed to accomplish the best for our society, community, nation and entire human race, greed to empower the susceptible, frail and marginalized sections of our society, greed to fortify the downtrodden, oppressed and underprivileged, greed to serve the sick, ailing, and elderly and the disabled? Greed to emancipate- the wounded souls! Greed to accumulate pain, sorrow and sufferings and then letting them go is the Eventual Endeavour (E2 J) of all humans. Hence we are Spiritual beings with human experiences! Such greed is better than the ambition that the Rich and Powerful possess. Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin Sachin Tendulkar, Lata Mangeshkar, Bachendri Pal, Kalpana Chawla, Dr. Baba Saheb Ambekar, - Just one unsatisfied desire led these unique souls to set them on an extra ordinary voyage of their life!!! All of them had one thing in common- Greed to do Good in their respective professions- the paths chosen by them w/o any attempts to exploit/ corrupt anyone deliberately! Hence, greed if it’s emerging from Good Intentions and for Good Actions is Good Greed or rather better than ambitions! Hitler, Kasaab, Mussolini, Alexander, Duryodhan, Ravana, Politicians like Sharad Pawar, Karunanidhi, A Raja, Suresh Kalmadi, Kripashankar Singh and Business People like Ketan Parekh, Ramalinga Raju , etc, etc. ruined, exploited and sucked up all the resources not just from our society but entire humanity for their selfish personal gains. Ambition to amass and accumulate reserves and property of entire humanity is worse than any greed can ever be! Ambition to reach the top by trampling on the dead bodies of innocent ones, ambition to capture authority, political power and funds by betraying your near and dear ones, Ambition to manipulate a person to satisfy your lust, Ambition leading to

    Summary: The Powerhouse Driving The Global Human Trafficking Epidemic

    The hearts of all people have only dipped into the pool of greed while others have drowned and come out of this pool drenched with a selfish desire. It is this desire for personal gain and profit that drives the human trafficking business. Greed can be defined as a compulsive desire to possess excessive wealth, status and power with the intention to keep it for one’s self, far beyond the basic needs or comfort of the individual. This concept of greed has been around since the civilization of ancient Greece, as represented within the epic poems of Homer, and probably existed within the earliest minds of the human race. The ancient Greeks also have records that they had an…

    Churchgoers Are Not Perfect Research Paper

    Greed is an excessive desire to acquire or posses more than what one needs or deserves with respect to material wealth. In life, there are things we need and things we want. Greed is usually associated with the want part of life. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting the finer things in life, but when you can’t control your wantsand you want more and more, it turns into greed, and it can especially be evident in a churchgoer. Some churchgoers hide their greed, while you can see it very clearly in others. A good example of this would be how churchgoers always encourage giving. In the Bible it says that, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." But when it comes time for them to give to a needy cause or pay their tithes and offering, they become stingy and only give small amounts, or nothing at all. Some of them may even say, "Sorry, I don't have any money," when they know they have money but are trying to save it because they saw a purse or a pair of sneakers that they want at the mall, when they have 200 other pairs of those things at home that they don't even wear. A child goes without food and shelter everyday because of the greed in some people, especially…

    Greed In The Quintessential Film: Wall Street By Oliver Stone

    In the quintessential movie Wall Street by Oliver Stone, a wealthy businessman character by the name of Gordon Gekko gives an iconic speech. “The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.” Gekko is trying to convey the message that greed has a positive impact on everything we want. He is right. Greed is imperative to today’s society, especially in places that have an economy primarily based on capitalism (like the United States). It improves the quality of life, as without it nothing would exist. Greed is good because it motivates people, benefits them, and brings out so much more than just wealth and power.…

    The Theme Of Greed In 'Rumpelstiltskin'

    Greed is a powerful emotion. It can be defined as “A selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed” (Merriam-Webster). Among other emotions, negative ones such as this can be found in many fairy tales.
