GREED

Greed is selfish, excessive or uncontrolled desire for or pursuit of money, wealth, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It is generally considered a vice, and is one of the seven deadly sins in Catholicism. (from Wikipedia)

Greed is angry. But in a world where there are -

- 18 million deaths per year from poverty related causes
- 28,000 deaths per day of children under 5 and
- 315 million people struggle to survive on less than a dollar a day

and in the very same world -

- the richest man is worth $56 billion and lives in a 66,000-square-foot lakeside compound near Seattle valued at $100 million
- the richest 500 individuals have a combined income greater than that of the poorest 416 million
- a mere 1.6 percent of the income of the richest 10% could lift one billion people above the $1/day extreme poverty threshold¹.

how else should one be, but angry? And how else should one describe it?
