What are you talking about? No one has a desire to be greedy. People have a desire for wealth not for greed.

Firstly, when i said the man desired to be greedy, that was an implication of his desire for wealth. Anyone who desires to be wealthy and at the same time desires to not be greedy is being irrational.

t's say a man starts a business and due to this man's hard work and business savvy this business flourishes and grows into a major corporation, do you think it is fair to call this man greedy simply based on his tremendous level of success and ability to produce?

If the man reaps a large profit from the business, this doesn't mean he is greedy. I defined wealth as your possesion/money value, and therefore if the business owner does not own expensive possesions and gives his money away or invests it back into the business, then he is not considered wealthy and therefore can be considered to be not greedy either. Wealth does not depend on salary. If the man however uses his profit to buy things for himself, rather than give it away, he is being greedy.

You must be able to see the flaw in thinking "Jack has more than Jill so Jack is greedier than Jill".

If jack has more than jill, then jack is being greedy if he does not give his excess posessions to jill.
