We tend to think of greed as synonymous with “evil”. But the word greed simply means hunger. But isn’t hunger good?
Stay hungry, stay foolish (Steve Jobs via Whole Earth Catalogue).
The closer word for greed in Latin is “avarice” (avarus) which means “to desire and to long for.” Isn’t it then good to have desires and to wish and long for things? To desire enjoyment and to feed yourself? To augment yourself and grow?
