GREED AS A DISEASE

Hey CatFan, thanks for the response.

I don´t believe that greed is inherent in humans,
but rather that it´s an acquired trait, a disease.
Our 6 year old boy shows no signs of having contracted,
or been born with it.
You might think that it´s because we his parents taught
him that greed was wrong, but we never had to really,
it´s simply not in his nature.
Hybrid?

It´s interesting to note the similarities between
greed affliction and alcoholism.
Both diseases plant a deep denial within the sufferer.
Greed festers because hypocrisy rules.
Too many folks are incapable of viewing their own reflection
greedily staring back at them.
