Greed - a selfish and excessive desire for more.1. Greed is a heart issue.“Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.” Thomas AquinasProverbs 23:4-5 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;    do not trust your own cleverness.5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,    for they will surely sprout wings    and fly off to the sky like an eagle.2.
