the Science of Sin: Greed by ric gustafson
In today's society, greed motivates competition and that is essential for today's markets. Yet greed has historically had a bad reputation. Most people shun greedy behavior. Since the start of time, greed has been viewed as a moral violation. The Bible's tenth commandment says ' thou shall not covet'. Most people have a view of fairness and not to take advantage of others. When we have competition, it can lead to market gain or harmful negative results.
Sports for example. Competition can lead to achievements and awards but can also wreak havoc on person lives involving family and friends. Financially, it could ruin us when we have to have bigger and better things than our next door neighbors.
There are a lot of people who do not give in to greed. They help others in need and donate money to charities. A lot of people donate their time for the benefit of others.
Does greed make you happier?. Research has shown that that is not true.
