Greed is the greatest evil force that has tempted man into doing a lot of misdeeds

Greed is the greatest evil force that has tempted man into doing a lot of misdeeds. It is greed that has led to so much corruption, violence and mayhem in the world. The peddler in ‘The Rattrap’ is not conscientious nor does he think twice before robbing a crofter. Bearing these thoughts in mind, write an article discussing the qualities that are required for overcoming the Evil of Greed in 100 words.

Answer: Value Points: Greed is the greatest evil that paralyses the goodness of man. It spreads like wildfire and makes a man immune to goodness and kindness. Money, fame, power and property acquired by unfair means is like a vicious cycle— never let anyone rest in peace. The consequences of greed are deep and never-ending. Meditation, consultations, keeping the company of good and honest people can keep the bridle on such men. It is most important that the desire to overcome greed should come from within.
