The Invisible Disease of Greed

Greed is an invisible and insidious disease that often goes unnoticed in ourselves. It masquerades as a virtue, with saving, planning, and being careful with money being deemed as good. However, excessive focus on these aspects can lead to callousness towards the needs of others. Greed undermines trust in relationships and can be found in people from all socioeconomic backgrounds. While fear often fuels greed, it is not a financial issue but rather a heart issue. To combat greed, systematic, pre-planned, and prioritized generosity is the antidote. By choosing a percentage of income to give, selecting specific organizations to support, and giving consistently with every paycheck, greed can be overcome.
