Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins. Greed, by definition is bad. You
continue to confuse greed with the [reasonable] desire for self
improvement. This will never change regardless of how often you
repeat it...


Greed is a normal human emotion, given directly by God.


Greed is a word made up by man that defines excessive desire. Desire is
fine, excessive desire is not. Desire = good, excessive desire = bad.

God does not make junk.


That makes no sense.

Long before the Seven Deadly Sins, a sage of the generation
proclaimed: "If not for greed, no man would build a home, marry a woman, or
father a child."


I'd guess the sage was either an ass, or the definition of greed has
changed.
