What poisons our relationships? Greed.

We are to love our neighbor as ourselves, but greed says, “I want to make money off of them.”

The Scriptures say money is the root of all evil, but greed says, “No way, money is good.”

Common sense tells us that a just society is stable and benefits all. But greed says, “I must accumulate as much wealth as possible and don’t care about the results.”

A caring person considers the effect of their actions on the generations that follow. A greedy person pollutes the earth and their grandchildren will suffer.
