Uncontrollable Greed.

It has driven people to do things that were unconventional; it has pushed others to commit unforgivable sins against God and man. It has also being known to make some give up their families, abandon their spouses with children, withhold testimony in a court of law in order to let a murderer go free and even kill in order to satisfy their greedy.

Greed is said to be the logical result of the belief that we have to grab what we can while we can however we can and then hold on to it very hard so that others don’t snatch it from us. A greedy person can go to any length to get what they want, it could be greed for food, fame, praise, knowledge, wealth, position etc. People have even been known to involve in ritual killings, human sacrifices and all in other to make money, win an election, or simply for protection from assumed enemies. People in the grip of greed are often not able to control themselves, they just want to acquire more and more of whatever it is they crave, not caring whom they hurt in the process.
