- The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that: Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right; greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed, you mark my words — will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA..

[edit] reasons for unjustifieable wars[[3]]
1-2Where do you think all these appalling wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. You lust|* for what you don't have and are willing to kill to get it. You want what isn't yours and will risk violence to get your hands on it. 2-3You wouldn't think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you'd be asking for what you have no right to. You're spoiled children, each wanting your own way. James 4:1.2, is from the Bible
- lust = greed (most people miss this..

[edit] A MORE FAIR AND JUST SOCIETY BASED UPON "TRUST"
The earth is bountifully endowed with water, air, correct temperature, atmosphere environment for living, sunshine plus all the resources found in the ground to grow food and making our lives meaningful upon earth. Why do we need more? By our greedlines of heart we lived as if we have to get more and more - and to what end? Prosperity alone does no good when the neighbors are hungry and living under constant wars and deprivations of the necessity for life. Yes there will never be equity when some keep getting richer and leaving the poor to be classified treated as "unwanted" and or "desirable". A gracious society means this:
- doing good for your neighbors as you will want for your own family - I hope we have more of this cheerful sharing and less of greed..Or else we are waiting the eventual total destruction of the whole civilization in the near future! Those who prosperous at the expense of the society will only lead us all closer to final day of doom and reckoning..another holocaust like the next.. World War three!:[[User:Terry|wowowow|]] 23:44, 10 October 2008 (SGT)

In fact by losing we understand more about life that we usually miss..
