What makes men who they are? Why the need to be greedy?

I've often wondered why some people are greedy, and how they got there. Dont get me wrong... im not saying i'm not greedy... i am... and i totally still couldn't understand why and how i got there.

Let me tell you a story of someone i know... and then, a story about me.

There's this one person i know who almost had everything in life... he had achieved all of his childhood dreams, proven his worth and capabilities, had more than he and his children would even need to survive and live a comfortable life, and yet he still craves for more. He had power, influence, money, and fame in his own right. A lot of people envied and admired his abilities... yet he still felt empty, and wanted more. He was drunk with power, and he was corrupted by the very sins of the world... greed has taken its toll with his health... and greed had made him heartless...

My story goes like this, i've always envied those that had more than what i have... i have a knack of losing spending like a crazy person... and yet i see myself wanting more... the greatest drive for greed is the need and want for something. It's what drives people like me to wanna work harder and get more. But more than that, i envy those that had barely any food on the table, yet had peace of mind and can even manage to laugh their hearts out everyday.

After all is said and done, id like to say, and believe that life and God ia fair. He giveth and he taketh... but the bottom line is, where you are perfect in one aspect ia where you are flawed and found wanting in another.
