Greed is a sin because humans are social creatures. And they simply cannot survive without the opposite of greed, which is cooperation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Greed is so destructive. It destroys everything.
Greed has been with human beings forever. We have a number of things in our species that you would call 'the dark side,' and greed is one of them. If you don't put certain structures in place or restrictions on those parts of our being that come from that dark place, then it gets out of control.
Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.
Human beings are very complex creatures. This desire, this greed, this love is very complex.
Humanity is the sin of God.
Greed is the lack of confidence of one's own ability to create.
Prosperity often leads to pride, which leads to sin.
The sin which is indulged to the greatest extent, which separates us from God and produces so many spiritual disorders, and which are contagious, is selfishness.
Sin is, somehow, at the root of all human misery. Sin is what keeps us from God and from life. It is in the face of every battered woman, the cry of every neglected child, the despair of every addict, the death of every victim of every war.
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
