“WHY DO MEN GREEED”

REFLECTION

JHON LLOYD TRASMONTE April 9, 2023

Diseases of the rational soul, like greed and ambition, are long-established and

hardened vices. In short, the disease is a relentless distortion of judgment, vigorously seeking

only what is slightly desirable. 

I always divide greed into two categories. The first is greed for wealth, money, and

material possessions. Easy to notice and easy to understand. Most of the time we can tell how

reluctant someone is to share or give back the money they owe when they are using others for

their material gain...

Unfortunately, accumulating more wealth than you need to live is highly prized and

considered a virtue in our world. Billionaires are celebrated for their wealth and, to say the

least, they hardly care that the way they made their money is questionable. We are constantly

told to hunt them down. And we hunt. Homes of millions, private When he's flooded with

images of jets and yachts, expensive clothes, and exotic vacations, what other options do you

have? They say they want these too. We don't want to be worse than them, right? So we

pursue every opportunity to save money and become greedy in the process.

Greed can mask what matters in life. It trumps compassion, selflessness, kindness,

and a sense of belonging to a community. Victims project their greed onto others, expect

them to be as greedy as they are, and look for ways to cheat them out of their money. By

comparing yourself to others, you realize that you are isolated. I can make fun of the super-

rich and deny labeling them as real people. I treat them like another species on another planet.
This will help ease your feelings of being greedy, lacking, or not having enough. I don't

understand why we have such a strong relationship between money and character. If someone

has money, we should try to be like them. So every interview asks her about her morning

routine, time management, values, free time, and whether she should eat avocado toast. The

effects on us go into areas of our lives that have nothing to do with money.

The second type of greed is greed for power. This type of greed is more complicated

to understand and notice. Unlike greed for wealth, there is no physical evidence. Power is

psychological, and we recognize our desire for power by observing people's behavior. It

twists tongues, deceives, and lies. Everything to keep you in control. People get angry when

things don't go their way. They try to control things beyond their reach (more on that here)

when they can't control other people's reactions, thoughts, or arguments. Manipulation is the

classic sign of trying to control someone, gaining or maintaining control. Putting people

down makes you feel strong and gain power over your image.

Greed is a sign of insecurity. It's a deep yearning that we all need to push well to our

limits. I feel sorry for you sometimes. Momentarily paralyzing your thoughts in pursuit of

trifles, disappointing loved ones and not being good enough in your way. Constantly

struggling with an inferiority complex, she feels the need to put others down to wrap herself

up in lies of greatness and make herself feel better. I feel sorry for you sometimes. But they

are usually bastards and think the world would be a much better place without them. Greed is

the disease that has devoured humanity. It structures our society so that most of us serve

greedy tops. And they are preventing us from standing up on equal terms because of this

disease. It promises peace and happiness but only brings hunger and isolation.

It would be naive to hope that greed would go away. But this time spent in true

solitude has allowed us to appreciate all that we have, to realize that we don't need everything
we thought we needed, and to share with those who do. I hope you teach us to learn to share.

Let's remake this world into a kinder place.

It is important to note that greed is a human emotion and is not limited to men. However,

when looking at the social and cultural factors that contribute to male greed, several factors

come to mind.

First, in many societies, men have historically held more power and privileges, which can

lead to entitlements and a desire for more power and resources. , can manifest as greed for

money, status, and influence.

Second, there is often a social expectation that men should be successful and provide for

themselves and their families. This pressure to be financially successful and amass wealth can

make you focus on material possessions and want more than you need for survival and well-

being.

Third, there may be a culture that values competition and individualism, which may

contribute to a win-or-win mentality and disregard for the needs and well-being of others.

It is important to recognize that these factors are not universal or applicable to all men and

that individuals of all genders suffer from greed. However, understanding the social and

cultural factors that contribute to greed is important. By doing so, we can work towards

building a more just and caring society.
