Greed is sin, sin is death.

My dear steemit friends, how are you all? I hope you are well by the grace of God. Alhamdulillah I am also good with your prayers. Friends, today I present to you with a new block. Hope everyone will stand by me and support me till the end.

“Sin for greed, death for sin” is a popular saying that carries a deep moral message of human life. Greed is a natural human instinct, which sometimes goes beyond the limits and deviates from the path of justice and morality.It induces people to do things that are harmful to themselves and society. Sin is born of greed, and sin leads to destruction. If we analyze the meaning of this proverb, we can see that the sin caused by greed not only affects the life of the individual but also affects the overall balance of the society.Greed is a reflection of people's insatiable needs. It is the boundless desire, which is never fulfilled. Greed blinds man and makes him forget the difference between right and wrong. Looking at various events in history, greed has led to the downfall of many powerful men and empires.For example, Duryodhana's greed in the Mahabharata led him to destroy the Kaurava dynasty. Again in Ramayana Ravana's greed and tendency to kidnap Sita deprived him of his kingdom and life. These incidents teach us that greed only causes harm in human life.

The ill effects of greed are also evident in modern society. Driven by greed, people today turn to injustice, corruption, fraud and crime. Extreme greed for money, power and social status is causing people to lose their sense of ethics.For example, many political leaders and high officials are becoming corrupt due to the greed for power. This corruption is not only for personal gain, but it is having a negative impact on the entire society. Economic inequality, social injustice and environmental degradation are the product of this greed.Due to greed, people are using natural resources indiscriminately, as a result of which the environment is under threat today. Greed is not limited to financial or physical resources. It also affects knowledge, reputation, and unfairly disenfranchising others.For example, those who claim the work of others for extra fame or praise are also victims of this greed. Similarly, greed for extra wealth leads people away from true happiness.A person can never find satisfaction in his life due to greed. He is always preoccupied with the hope of getting more, which leads him to turmoil and despair.

The opposite of greed is self-restraint and renunciation. Self-control helps to keep the human mind calm and stable. It guides people to the right path and helps them attain true happiness. The scriptures repeatedly mention that greed is the cause of man's destruction.Gita, Bible, Koran and other scriptures have termed greed as a major sin for human life. The Gita states, “Greed gives rise to delusion, and delusion destroys one's conscience.” So practicing self-restraint is very important to get rid of greed.An example will make the point clearer. Let's say, a trader lowers the quality of the product for extra profit or spreads false information in the market.In this way he may gain temporary profit, but in the long run his behavior destroys the trust of customers and leads to the collapse of his business. This is where the truth of the adage becomes apparent—greed breeds sin, and that sin ultimately brings about its destruction.

Being aware of the evils of greed is very necessary for peace and progress in society. Moral education and the practice of self-restraint should start from childhood in educational institutions and families.Although humans have a natural tendency towards greed, it can be controlled with proper guidance. If individuals, families and societies practice freedom from greed, a just and prosperous society can be built.

Therefore, the proverb “by covetousness is sin, by sin is death” warns us that covetousness leads to destruction. It's not just a saying, it's a fact of life.Man can attain true happiness and peace through morality, honesty and self-sacrifice by controlling greed. Therefore, it is most necessary for us to learn to overcome the lure of greed and follow the righteous path.
