Description
greed ('grEd)Mindlessly toiling with a shovel in hand, Greed is locked into a slavery of its own desires. Torn open for the world to examine and scrutinize, Greed is a truly disgusting sin. It struggles endlessly to possess things it does not need, laboring to its own destruction for some golden prize just beyond the next horizon. Unscrupulous greed will destroy anything to gain that which it feels it must have, no matter how useless. The sad fact being that the things it comes to possess are initially unimportant, but eventually Greed places an almost worshiping status to them. Like Greed's mask, these things lock themselves to us outside the reach of grasping fingers, until they become so grown in place that removing them would be terminal. The sad irony is, that these things were never important to begin with. Greed fights itself and others for useless trinkets, placing a god-like status of importance upon them, instead of searching for that which truly matters. Those things that no amount of labor will bestow upon us.

lol sounds like the description of the american dream XP u come here with nothing, and work until u have everything u could ever want, but the more u have the more u want and realize what u could have, so u continue 2 work until u lose ties with your family friends and even your co workers and partners who used 2 love working under u, but have grown annoyed of the continuous flaunting of your riches, eventually u have everything that's been made 4 the rich in this and past centuries, but u still need more, but all that's left is money
