Greed or in Pali it is called Lobha

The manifestation of greed takes many forms in everyday life.

At a societal level, uncontrolled greed is the source of many problems.

The consequences of greed are serious, both for the individual and for society as a whole.

Resolving or reducing greed is the process of cultivating the opposite virtue.

However, it is important to distinguish between greed and healthy desires or ambitions.

The roots of greed are complex, but it is often linked to a feeling of incompleteness or inner emptiness.

Greed is not just a desire for ordinary things, but a constant hunger that is never satisfied, no matter how much you get.

Greed can also drive people to exploit or deceive others for their own gain, without regard for morality or the impact on others.

Social and cultural pressures that glorify wealth and material success can also cultivate and nurture greed in its members.

Greed can lead to isolation due to an excessive focus on oneself and seeing others as competitors or tools to achieve one's goals.

Constantly obsessing about acquiring wealth or increasing what one has to the point of losing balance in life is also a characteristic of greed.

Ultimately, shifting your focus from seeking happiness externally to seeking peace and satisfaction internally is the key to freeing yourself from the power of greed.
