Question: What are the politics of greed!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Greed governs the majority of actions in your life, though you may not admit it!. Greed is the desire for personal gain!. It may be expressed as the desire to augment personal possession, or secure a clear conscious!. A basic human desire is self preservation, the root of greed, and as the desire for the preservation of the ego continues, so does greed!.

Greed even governs seemingly selfish actions, because the ego defines itself, and is attempting to preserve that definition!. The martyr dies in a selfish preservation of the ego that they have defined as uncompromising, or "selfless"!.

PS this does not discredit the tremendous efforts made by men for causes that they believe in, and in no way undermines the value of the effort!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
