Introduction
Hey Beasts, it's Alex again coming to you with another blog! Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, some family troubles have come up, so I had to deal with them. Ok, let's get back on track. If you've noticed, I added the 'Introduction' title. From now on, I will organize the blog with sections, like other bloggers here on PMC! Anyways, let's get this blog on the road!
What is 'greed'?
Wikipedia's definition of greed is as follows: "...the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. It is applied to a markedly high desire for and pursuit of wealth, status, and power."
I don't like that definition. It is too boring and hard to understand for some individuals. My definition of greed is taking more of an object than you need and not helping others with what they need help with.
Why are people greedy?
People are greedy because they want to feel better about themselves and have superiority over others. People are also greedy so they can PROVE their supieriority.
An example: when I was in 2nd grade, we all had a nametag on our desk. At the end of the year, whoever had the cleanest and neatest nametag would get a whole bag of Twizzlers! That was like 1 million dollars for a 2nd grader. Anyways, I won the Twizzlers. I didn't share them with anybody because I wanted them all. I was being GREEDY.
Can greed be good?
However, greed can be good! Let's take two people, someone that donates everything he ever earns, and someone that keeps everything for himself. two VERY different types of people. The person that donates everything is a morally good person, and everybody will like him, but he won't get anywhere in life.
Now let's take the person that is greedy and keeps everything for himself. He will become very successful in life and have a lot of money, and end up being very profitable, but he will be morally sinning, and almost nobody will like him, except for other greedy people.
Greed can be good, but only early in a career and in life, when you need to be greedy, so you don't end up like the guy that gives away everything he ever possessed. Later in life, greed is not as good, and frowned upon.
Conclusion
Greed is usually bad, and is frowned usually. I believe that people have to be greedy, and that it should not be looked down on as much, because it is human nature. It should, however, be controlled.
ENDING
Thank you everybody for reading this blog! This is my first blog I've produced on PMC that isn't a Snapshot Review. Because of that, feedback and critique is REALLY important for this blog! I hoped you liked my blog about GREED, so, until next time, it's Alex!
P.S. I recently hit my goal of 25 subscribers, and at the time of writing this, I have 27 subscribers! My next goal is 35 subscribers.

If I was in that contest, I would have no chance.

I dont see how that is greedy, considering you were in 2nd grade and you won a competition. :P
