How to use "Greed" in context?
There's no disputing that greed is a powerful motivator. People often pursue things they want simply because they feel they need them to be happy. At its core, greed is just a hunger for things we don't actually need. But rare is the individual or company who can stay in control when faced with an abundance of something they want. A study at Rice University found that when people are given a choice between a smaller payoff now or a larger payoff in the future, they are more than three times as likely to choose the larger payoff.
