Greed kills.
I've decided that people are needy. Basically, we're never satisfied with what we have. Ever. You can blame it on the fact that we're humans all you want, but that's just not an excuse. Think back so something you've really wanted. Not just sorta wanted it. Like you would DIE if you didn't get it. Then think about what happens the days after you get it. Let's see. The day you get it, you are obsessed with it. Let's say it's a new game on your phone. (even though you most likely wouldn't be dying to get that...) But that first day, you play that game about twenty billion times. It is your life. Then the next day comes. You play it a few times, but not even half as much as the day before. In the next few days, you maybe play the game once or twice. Fast forward a week, and you never play the game. You really don't care that you got the game anymore. It's old news. Now you want something else. This seriously happens with everything in life. It gets really annoying if you start to realize it. Everything is taken for granite now. We don't get the fact that we're so lucky to be able to get what we want when we want it. I know I'm guilty of this. I also know that it's hard to stop acting this way. It happened tonight to me. I realized I could have the thing I'd wanted for such a long time, but now that I have it, I really don't want it anymore. It's not important, and I seem to have moved on to something else. It's a horrible habit. But it is a habit no matter how bad. I wish I could be happy with the one thing I want. To be able to be satisfied and not just want more. But that's not how it works. I'm way too greedy. Me and the rest of our country, and a lot of the world are the same. We all continue to utter the words more. more. more.

I've found that people find it difficult to decipher between what they want and what they need. There is such a big difference! But, as you said, we're all greedy.
