'''Greed''' 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. Various disciplines such as [[ethics]] or religious studies weigh the destructive aspects of greed.
