Sounds more like another transparent way of saying "everyone who has more than I do is greedy."
I am simply saying most people are greedy. I am not saying greed is good or bad, I am just stating truth. It doesn't matter if they have more or less than me. Mother Teresa types are the exception not the rule.

People give mostly because they feel guilt. Think about it. Why do people give millions to the Red Cross after a disaster? Why didn't they give those millions before the disaster? The answer is guilt. We can ignore the pain, suffering and poverty of people everyday because we don't feel guilt, but when a natural disaster strikes someone else and not us, we feel guilt, and we give.
