If you like accumulating something in order to fill a growing void inside your life, then greed is probably good.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

So if you have a perverse void (ie. some guy enjoys raping girls to fill his loniless), then its good?

What about a "void for power"? What if you gain power in order to fill a void (the lack of power)? Hitler had a void too. He filled it.

Greed isn't about destruction. Its simply about wanting something that could be given to other people.

You're greedy. You have a computer when you could sell it, give money to the poor, and save thousands of lives. You have a life when you could kill yourself, sell the organs, and save other peoples lives.


Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you.
