greed


"from understanding that greed is unskillfull, and from the thoughts and feelings that follow,
we become less self-centered in our life, and these thoughts and feelings then become the condition for acts of generosity and service. The acts of a generous heart strengthen feelings of love and compassion even further, freeing our mind from the suffering of stinginess, selfishness, and pride. Thus through this natural chain of events, we become happier."
_Joseph Goldstein
