Greed is Evil

 

As Gordon Gekko famously said in Wall Street, “Greed, for the lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.” He was wrong, greed creates classes, rich or poor people. It has created corrupt politicians that are in it for themselves instead of the people. People have died for greed; wars have been started because of greed. Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Characterized as the fanatical pursuit and amassing of riches, avarice is otherwise called one of the seven lethal sins. Be that as it may, it might have a reason, as indicated by developmental clinicians. That's what they trust, by pushing us to gather status-flagging belongings, ravenousness can assist us in withdrawing into a mate and in this manner sustain our hereditary code.

Avarice is tied in with getting a greater amount of what you need not what you really want. It is a voracious craving for more pay, more belongings, more impact, more power, more sex, more honors, and a greater amount of anything positive or negative. Insatiability is a serious area of strength for greed regarding esteemed results. What can be awful about that? What's up with making progress toward what you long for? Also, voracity is a significant inspiration driving monetary development and thriving, making it great for society. For sure, some commendation voracity by implication for its gainful results: "Private enterprise has been known as an arrangement of covetousness, and it simply takes a gander at society, there are many individuals living underneath the destitution line and in the city in a country that should be the most extravagant country on the planet.

The judgment of avarice overwhelmingly comes from the way that individuals have contended that covetousness harms others. As, for example, ravenousness has been characterized "as a narrow-minded inspiration to procure an unjustifiably inordinate measure of an asset, to the detriment of others.". The idea of mischief isn't just present in that frame of mind of eagerness, yet in addition to observational examinations. Covetous individuals overharvested in a misfortune of the house type asset predicament, and greedier individuals took more themselves in final proposal and despot games. Late examinations imitated the impacts of eagerness in despot games and found that dispositional avarice hinders prosocial ways of behaving.

A connection between eagerness and debasement is frequently made. Greedier individuals are more untrustworthy, shameless, or unscrupulous, and find that conduct more adequate and legitimate. In a boosted lab study, greedier individuals were bound to accept kickbacks. The main thrust of this unscrupulous way of behaving was expanded longing as opposed to diminished determination. Insatiability anticipated defilement when engaging debasement standards were high, however not when elucidating debasement standards were low, recommending a likely method for combatting the adverse impact of covetousness. Nonetheless, it likewise features an expected endless loop, with insatiability subverting social designs and prompting anomie (the impression of the dislocation of social bonds and the obliteration of moral guidelines), and the anomie enhancing the predominance of eagerness. One thing to remember The Great Depression was partially caused by greed, along with every other form of depression in modern times. 

Avarice likewise causes terrible results on additional large-scale levels. The executive's research found that the eagerness of Chiefs of many organizations adversely affected investors' returns, and that avaricious presidents are less ready to put resources into corporate social obligation. Essentially, in the exploration of supportability and decreasing utilization covetousness is advanced as a disastrous power. It was found that dispositional covetousness was the most grounded indicator of accumulating during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Avarice is a serious and egotistical longing to have more, and it can obliterate connections at work, home, and all over the place. The problems with greed:

·       Jealousy- Comparing yourself to others – someone else will always have more than you. Dishonesty- If you’re a greedy person, you’ll eventually end up lying and cheating to get more for yourself.

·       Shallow relationships- A jealous, dishonest person will only have relationships with people who can help him get more, and those relationships are always shallow

·       Lack of focus- Greed makes you lose sight of your true mission in life or business because your focus is on yourself and your money.

·       Dissatisfaction- At the end of the day, you’ll never be satisfied with life if your heart is full of greed because if your goal is always to have more, you’ll never quite get there.

1 Timothy 6:9-10 But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from their true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
