RE: Optimism at the End of the World #10 : Selfishness and Selflessness - The two are not at odds

Not disagreeing with you, but what do you define as greed? My idea of greed is trying to gain no matter how it hurts others. So, I'm not sure there is "so much greed" in the US. I think it's more like a few greedy people/ companies that end up controlling a large part of the economy because of their greed. But the majority of Americans I meet aren't greedy.

Excellent question @kendewitt.
I suppose I define greed as not being satisfied with having enough to be comfortable. So many strive to keep up with all the excesses they see others having and want the same.
