The Question of Greed
Centrally, the question is this: is greed good? Is it a virtue or a vice?
Pro: Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed in all of its forms: greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind. Greed with not only save you, but any other malfunctioning corporation.
Con: The value of happiness outweighs greed. Happiness is the only end we value for itself. Thus once happiness is obtained, we need nothing more. When we grow a compulsion to have something more than what we need, then we are no longer happy because we are searching for something else, we are not complete in the psyke of the greedy. Ergo, happiness outweighs greed.
Discuss in a formal fasion, give me pros and cons, not little phrases or additives.
If you want to refute or argue against someone's pro or con, do so in a reply fasion.
