You don’t own your wife. Greed boils down to a desire for more possessions. Most people want newer, shinier, more efficient, better things then what they currently have, even those who claim they’re not greedy.
Of course. But I was speaking to how some desires have a similar vibe but one is natural and good and the other is destruction.

I think you're missing the line between greed and ambition. If I want to have a nice truck, that's self-interest. If I want to have three gold-plated trucks, that's greed. Where the line lies is an individual moral judgment, but there is a line. Gordon Gecko was full of crap.
