Greed
Commonly referred to as avarice or covetousness, greed, like gluttony and lust, is a sin of excess; it’s a selfish desire for material wealth or gain. Much advertising is based on this sin, playing on one’s apparent innate desire of (often excessive) acquisition. A number of dishonorable acts are associated with greed, including disloyalty, betrayal and treason (usually for personal gain), bribery, scavenging, hoarding of materials/objects, theft, trickery, and manipulation. (Basically everything you’ve ever seen on an episode of ‘Intervention’).
Many argue that it’s not surprise that greed seems to get the best of us all at some time or another; we live in possibly the most pampered, consumerist society in modern history. Legend warns that punishment for greed involves banishment to hell in the afterlife where you can expect to spend your time being boiled alive in oil. Cheer up, though– rumor has it that the oil is the finest, most luxurious boiling oil that money can buy.
