Greed is it the true root of all evil in this world and it has caused so much pain and suffering to humanity. It irritates me so bad it gets under my skin and gets me going. It has caused many world conflicts that I don’t see the point in someone being greedy. From everything that happens in the world, being greedy is that last thing that this world needs.
Everyday someone dies because of someone getting too greedy about his or her money. A perfect example of this would be a Mexican drug lord. The more he gets the more he wants, the more the power of greed takes over him. Because of the drug war, aka greed war, people who have family in México cannot even go visit them without being stopped by a cop and getting arrested because the cops are also involved with the gangs now. It has gone on too long and the more Drug lords there are the more each of them want to take from the others. It’s all a game to them while the people’s lives don’t even matter just as long as they get what they are after, money and power.
