Covetousness is likened to greed or it is greed itself there are dangerous consequences of being greedy. We should always be contempted with what we have irrespective of what we have we should always take the pain and adore and glorify God.In the book of Matthew we were made to understand that our lives are better than meat and our body more than raiment so we should learn to give God thanks for our lives before thinking of materialistic possessions.
It is a virtue that is contentment we all ought to have because it serve as a watchdog to our excesses,covetousness and greed.Note this don't quote me wrong it is not bad to aspire for greatness but not at the expense of committing atrocities or any other horrible wickedness like what's associated with greed. A greedy person is capable of any evil or good thing just to achieve a certain goal.
We should be contempted and not self-centered like we shouldn't think about others before diverting much needed attention to ourselves.
Tanks for this wonderful addition
