I give you....the TRUTH
When is enough, enough?
How much money do you have to have before you feel comfortable, and secure? For some it is enough to be happy, and for others it is two or three houses. When you have made more money than your grandkids can spend perhaps that is enough. When does the word 'Greed' get applied? The bible lists greed as one of the deadly sins, and is often talked about in the bible.
Is making money wrong? is owning a business becoming wealthy wrong? I don't believe so. I believe greed can be good in the form of motivation, but at some point it becomes wrong. What is that point?
I believe the amount of money or possessions does not matter when it comes to greed. I think that 'greed' is more of a state of mind. When someone has reached their comfort level and become secure, and then they set out to help others achieve the same status, this is what I would call, thwarting 'greed'. When the comfortable and secure decline to help others achieve the same, and actively work to make the achievement of security and comfort for others I believe that is 'greed' along with a slew of other wrongs. Among those wrongs is 'rationalization', one can rationalize anything, including their greed.
"It is easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for them to get into heaven"
