Greed

Being motivated by greed is like being addicted to opioids
greedy people are well aware their rapacious desire for wealth 
or material possessions is ultimately destructive, yet they keep 
wanting more, and more, and more, and more. Aggressively
coveting especially money and power; by whatever means 
necessary. They're enslaved by it. They crave it so intensely
They're unable to go into remission. Anyone who believes that
"Greed is good" has drank The Gordon Gekko Kool-Aid. Its quite 
The opposite; a slow-acting poison that tastes like honey

                                   Don't be a Gekko
                              Greed, akin to addiction
                                  It is bad, not good
