Greed comes from ignorance so uncontrollable restless quality. It's a black door of life leads to dirty region. A great philosophical poem my lovely lovely friend beautifully penned. Again a 7, am helpless here. Loved always, bl

:) Great write, Sunshine...Thanks for highlighting this. Greed is the basis for the corruption we see in our governments here in this part of the world.
