Do you think that there is too much greed in the world?

[TravelingMaaike]

For example, too many people seem to value profits over everything else such as love and life.

I used to think so too until I found my penpal peeps :).

I really want to send them gifts or money but they always refused. I know 2 of them are really poor. And 1 is from Ukraine so obviously in trouble.

Okay, especially this girl really really touched my heart.

She is my age, she got a divorce due to cheating by her husband 3 years back and lives in Russia. She has 2 kids and adorable 🥰 they are. So, she doesn't like restaurant food, she doesn't wear make up , her hands have splinters and she doesn't have any car. She lives with her kids and raise them. She does 2 jobs and tills the field with those precious hands 😍. Christian

All that I am telling might seem ordinary and yes it is so. But here is the twist.

So, I talked to a girl from my country and she was similar but here is the main difference that disgusted me entirely. She first invited me for paid sex, and when I told her no and asked why she even does it when she is a nurse she replied she doesn't want her kids to live like commoners as if she was giving a very good example. Her exact words,"I belong to high society and I don't want my kids to get wind of those losers (ordinary people)". Muslim

I want to say despite her kids it feels like love at first sight for me. While the other prostitute I would really kick her out for thinking like she is some Queen. I despise people like her.

I wish my children turn into someone like that first girl. Doing honest work, and humble and just hard workers. I wish world was just people like her everywhere. I admit I had tears of happiness to see someone like her. I would kiss those hands a 1000 times and thank God every day if she married me. And she didn't even talk about any feminism or the extra marital stuff. Just for attraction, she looks similar to you, long hairs, slight wrinkles, very beautiful, and age 31. She is an Angel or the Hoori Woman God promised to believing men. May God give her a home in heaven and be kind to her and I can meet her In both lifetimes Amen.

No, not forcefully, I think there are more decent people than greedy people. What I also see is that the less you have, the more you are willing to share. What I do however believe is the phrase ‘there is not enough love to go round’…

The bible says it's easier to get rich when you're not stingy or picky about small money and favours. There are evil people who have money but they are unhappy inside cause they are full of anger and hate and have no respect for anybody. When you don't respect others, you live alone cause there is nobody to appreciate or love or take care of and lonely people become depressed and bored.

Greed is a basic human failing, but so is envy. Envy is the bigger problem.

an example of that extreme greed is doctors and staff making a living at abortion clinics, money over human fetus life. too extremely greedy.

worse are those trying to "justify non rape abortion" by saying need abortion for rape victims. like "we need to excise cancer so we can cut everybody" and even call cutting everyone "health care".

Greed is what drives a lot of technological developments we take for granted. You're never going to get rid of it completely.

Yes, money can only get you so far in life. Once you get a yacht the size of a football field I don;t know what else you can do to top that.

[ChiTown33]

I think greed is a symptom of a deeper problem. There's not enough love in this world. Social media is a prime example. People fishing for attention. And if they can't get it they'll damn well try to buy it. So yes, greed is factor of that.

[DerekC321]

Yes, seems like it's the dominating human emotion, often. 😞

The pursuit of profit is why you can sit on a computer/tablet/phone connected to the entire world to get on this website and whine about people wanting profit.

[DJB72]
