Here's something else to think about relating to my last blog post. I talked about envy, and how it may be just misunderstood. I asked if envy could possibly be a good thing, a necessary thing, and not the evil thing we are taught from birth.
What about greed? Think about our economy, and Wall Street, and the materialistic community we are. Could greed be a good thing?

"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good.
Greed is right.
Greed works.
Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.
And greed -- you mark my words -- will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA." - Gordon Gecko (wallstreet)
Both well said, and frightening.
But what about the great depression? When greed almost destroyed this country? Was it good then? And what about this economic downturn we're in now? Wasn't it triggered by greed? And doesn't greed, in the long run, only help the rich get richer?
Some food for thought
