Greed

Greed has many sides to create its suffering and is tricky to analyse in oneself. For example, someone may be greedy to keep another person close to them as it makes them feel secure, or they may eat more than they should instead of controlling their greed.

They may then even try to cover their greed with excuses and or lies to themselves and others, the causation and effect from these lies and excuses can be substantial.

Again it needs to be analysed from many angles to find truth, to ensure that you aren’t hiding the truth from yourself.

4 Levels of Greed

1. Enjoy something to the point that it is too much and no longer good for you

2. When your greed controls you and you no longer have any control of it

3. Greed to the point that it causes you suffering

4. That you are so blind with your greed that you’re unaware that that’s the cause of your suffering
