The Manifestation of greed. Greed has a different form and shapes even ten years ago. Now, it became part of life, part of the pride, and to some extent everything. You may not relate with this that much because what I'm calling greed is 'lifestyle', 'wellbeing' for many. Isn't it unfortunate that we are so much into materialism that we prefer 'object' over everything else?

I have seen so many comments saying, "it's their money, let them do what makes them happy as long as they are not hurting anyone."* Yeah, I agree. But isn't it sometimes we should prefer less in life? You may have a different opinion on this. But look at the consequences and you will probably see how *greed* became the new normal. These manifestations impact negatively the world as a whole. We became narcissists, all about 'our' happiness than anything else. 'We' come first than anyone's wellbeing. Our actions may not have a direct impact on anyone but they do create a wave of negativity. Many are dealing with low self-esteem, depression because of our narcissism. "My money, my choice" should be okay as long as it doesn't have any negative consequences. When it becomes all about our happiness, own appearance then I have to say, that's not a good use of money. Yeah, we should spend on us. Why not? But there must be some limit and there should be some thoughts in Infront of our action. I also do live a materialistic life. I do shopping but there's a limit on this. I can proudly say that I recheck the consequences of my actions. I also do mistakes but never try to manifest what I believe is 'Greed.' *There is a fine line between living well/prioritizing our well-being with greed. I wish we could understand this more.*
