Greed is an uncontrollable unconscionable longing, urge as it were, to possess or even acquire material gain, wealth, possessions, power, clothing, food, even social status, and envy goes one step further because it is an unmitigated urge to possess what others have. The intensity of a greedy person extends to an obsession, an uncontrollable longing or desire to possess what another has; it is one of the most deadly sins, according to the Bible. It results in covetousness and is extremely difficult to define in terms of where it stops because it is governed by great obsession for the possessions of others.
What lies behind this obsession is that they care too much about the acquisition of what another has. As portrayed in the movie ‘GREED’ and I quote from BUSINESS TODAY “It is an exploitation of the Apparel Industry.” BUSINESS TODAY also says that “GREED is a satire written and directed by Michael Winterbottom with Steve Coogan playing the lead of apparel billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie, Sri Lanka is featured as one of the destinations that manufacture garments for Sir Richard McCreadie’s empire. GREED criticizes the inequality in the apparel industry and showcases this by drawing on the disparities between the two worlds.”
