| Knowing what Greed is all about, what do you think is the difference between ambition and greed? |
|---|
Being ambitious is totally different from greedy,
Being ambitious is the act of desiring to achieve something. It involves setting goals and working towards attaining it within a period of time. Being ambitious is a virtue anyone who desires to be successful in life must possess. It also channels one towards self development, improvement, hardworking and resilience.
Greedy on the other hand is a vice, it is the insatiable desire to get more at the expense of other people. A greedy person is selfish, unfair, wicked and uncontentmented.
| Can greed ever be in a positive force, or is it always destructive? |
|---|
Greed is very destructive, have seen people walk into a death trap in the quest to gain something. A Greedy person can go to any length to get something.
| How does greed affect relationships and trust among people? |
|---|
Greedy is a relationship wrecker, it can make good friends arch enemies over night. Greed can breech trust between people. It can make friends see themselves as rivals. Greed can equally turn a friendship from a place of love and trust to a place of jealousy and hatred.
| Do you think greed is a natural human instinct, or is it something that is learned? |
|---|
I feel greed can come from human instincts and can also be learned.
| Have you ever witnessed or experienced the negative effects of greed in your own life? |
|---|
They was a period of time in my life when all my prayers was asking God for one thing or the other and when I don't get answers I usually feel bad. This greatly affected me because I usually feel empty. I later found out that I was greedy and I started seeking his Kingdom first before any other thing. In my personal relationship with God currently, I worship God not because of the things I will gain but because it is the right thing to do.
Conclusion
A greedy person does not grow, we should try as much as possible to shun greedy in our daily dealing with people.
