What is Greed?

Greed is an unreasonable or all-absorbing desire to acquire things or wealth; it can take all kinds of forms (including a grasping desire for money, possessions, luxury, food, power, or any number of other things). The test of greed is that it is never satisfied and has little or no regard for the needs of others, and may think nothing of hurting others or taking advantage of others in order to get more. His life is dominated by selfishness. Greedy person is only concerned about himself.

It is not wrong to want to work and earn a decent living; in fact, god has given work to us. But this legitimate desire can very easily cross the line into greed- especially in our materialistic society.
