Another understanding is that greed serves to bring as many things that the greedy person considers valuables to that person, making him/her the center of his efforts, the one he aims to please, converting him into his own god, and creating pride with great concentration on the ego.

So for every extra £/$ you strive to make to improve your status and ego ( A truly misguided way to live) the more people will die as a result.
Have you ever heard of the expression, `The more you earn, the more you spend` ???? The more you spend, the richer THEY get. The richer THEY get, the less they care. The less they care, the less YOU care and all you are worried about is how big your next pay cheque is. In effect what you are doing is closing your eyes to REAL issues and the future of the planet.


How is this related to anything about TCs and GCs and north and south. :? You said that GCs are more greedy and I showed you that you are wrong in this.

What do any of your posts have to do with my question Sotos???

Do you think we need change? Or do you like the way it is? Capitalism, greed, hatred, starvation, etc.???

It had to do with a comment that you made after when you said "Southern Cyprus is too greedy and would find it much harder to give up It`s wealth."

Humans can't change much. Greed, hatred and all that were even before Capitalism. Communism tried to change this and it failed. We need some change but lets be reasonable in what we can expect! Anarchy would only make things worst. If you want to see real world anarchy check out Somalia.
