→Greed: specification that greed motivated by envy is covetousness
===Greed===
===Greed===
'''[[Greed]]''' (or Covetousness, Avarice) is a desire to acquire or horde [[wealth]], possessions, or power beyond normal reason. A drive to acquire possessions and status, to a certain degree, is a part of [[human]] nature. Greed is when this desire becomes unduly strong and takes precedence over [[moral]] considerations such as concern for others.

When greed is motivated by envy it is covetousness, not primarily to possess something but to enjoy taking it away and gloat over having it in order to destroy the happiness of another as revenge for the fact that the other is happy. The pleasure is not in possessing but in the revenge of depriving.
