My Greed In Martha Stewart And Sheldon Adelsons
Bonjour, Hola, Namaste, and Hello there I am greed. I come in many different shapes, sizes, and all walks of life. Merriam-Webster defines me as a selfish and excessive desire for more of something that is needed. I am viewed differently amongst people of different social classes. If you could taste me I would of a bad aftertaste. If you were to smell me you would smell oversprayed perfume. You can see me in Martha Stewart and Sheldon Adelson. If you hear me I am an out of tune violin. I am many things, but I believe I truly represent entitlement, dishonestly, and never ending.
I have been dated back to much earlier times, when I became one of the seven deadly sins. Along with myself were pride, lust, envy, gluttony, anger, and sloth; together
we make up the seven deadly sins. Together us sins are the worst actions someone could commit to cut themselves off from God’s grace. According to the seven deadly sins I am defined as “the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual”. People process me to live the most pampered life they can. If you comment my sinful actions you will be boiled alive in the luxury oil in Hell.
I boost people’s entitlement. I lead to a mind set of privilege. I am a freeloader. I am inconveniencing others without thinking. I am someone who takes more than they give. I’m the person who only thinks of themselves. With this sense of entitlement I force people to become oblivious to other’s emotions. Once these people feel they have reached a level of success it becomes more “Me, Me, Me” rather than “how can I help”. These people tend to belittle others who don’t have as much. I am those people who are called rude, inconsiderate, and angry.
I am dishonesty. I am someone who lies and cheats. I am that person who stole your money after you entrusted them with it. I am that co-worker who lies and cheats to get to the top faster. Maybe this sense of myself stems from another aspect in their life, causing them to feel the need to be better than everyone else.
I am never-ending. I am that person who still continues to lie and cheat even when they can been notified about their actions. Throughout a person's life they aim to acquire as much as me as possible. It becomes a quest in life and once you have me you’ll never not want me. Gandhi once said “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed”. To some I am a disease who consumes people’s choices. I swallow them whole with thoughts of impatience, rudeness, and negativity.
