(Robison) Greed has an appetite that cannot be satisfied and a thirst that can never be quenched. Its ambition can never be exhausted, It makes demands that can never be fulfilled and creates needs that can never be met. Greed always wants more. Greed is less about the things we have and more about the things that have us. When succombing to greed, people invariably think that getting is better than having. Greed perpetually compels us to get new things. It is a mad, unending, and vicious cycle. Because greed is never satisfied, it is never gratified. Because it is never gratified, it is never thankful. Because it is never thankful, it is never at rest. Greed consumes the lives of those it possesses. It is an equal opportunity destroyer. All attempts to satisfy the cravings of greed are futile. It is certain to impose a smothering sadness and hopelesness upon all who are consumed by it.Greed's  touch makes genuine fulfillment, satisfaction, and freedom unattainable. We are to be rivers, not storehouses. The antidote to greed is compassion
