Don't we all have wants, needs? Aren't we all greedy?

All desires, all wants, all needs and all aspirations stem from greed. I do not see how it can be an entirely evil thing. Self preservation and ambition could be construed as elements of greed, too.

Love isn't evil, but it also perpetuates things such as jealousy and feelings of possession, which one could say are evil. Does that mean it should be wrong?

Other than that, I think you have a very interesting philosophy.

I was using it as an example, that all wants/needs can be interpreted as greedy or contribute to other emotions/ideas that are wrong.

I just don't think everything is black/white like that (at least, it isn't for me). But if it is black and white for you, props then I suppose.

Don't see how it is black and white, I personally things as different shades of gray. I want to see if anyone partially agrees with me.
