Greed is wanting more than you need and more than others have
I agree with everything else that you wrote Lois but I'm not sure about this one. The word greed carries a more malevolent connotation in my mind but according to your definition nearly every American ( even those we would define as poor) are greedy because most of us have more than we need for survival and more than others in places like the Sudan. A poor child in the south Bronx who has enough food, a roof over his head and a TV has more than he needs. I think that definition needs some tinkering.
