Human greed is over and above its need, driven by want, felt insecurity or a personal sense of inadequacy and incompletion but directed at the material world around oneself... first, to fill the personal gap materially, and then, to that sense of power which strokes us into an immediate psychological satisfaction. Paracetamol would my need if I am feverish. ( Wishing ) To hoard a roomful of it would my greed - I. Having the power over others and over the phenomena about, through such hoarding, is my greed - II. Everybody is entitled to meet his need and two-and-a-half inch of his greed !
