Sunday AdelajaAt the root of every form of ungodliness, injustice, nepotism, selfishness, every rivalry and competitive jealousy, is the monster called greed.
About This Quote
One of the greatest evils in the world is greed. It is often linked with ungodliness, injustice, nepotism, selfishness, every rivalry and competitive jealousy. The word greed means that desire for more than one needs, rather than giving what is one's due. This desire to take more than one needs can lead to abuse of power, especially when it is combined with its sister, the ungodliness.
The ungodliness means that it is used for selfish purposes. Everyone in this world has his own right to live. It is not right to take others' lives or food when they are hungry or thirsty.
There should be no rivalry between people; but everything should be given to everyone according to his need and according to his right.
