Performance and harm

Greed is an excessive desire. Greedy people often transcend the level of social development, trample on social norms, and crazily grab property from society and others. Its performance is as follows.

An unscrupulous desire for money

The main manifestations are: seeking only profit, forgetting one's integrity at the sight of profit, and using all means to obtain money. Such as embezzlement of public funds: There was a bank employee in Henan who couldn't wait to get money on the 13th day of work. In a short period of time, he embezzled 16,000 yuan of public funds. Some people use public funds to speculate in stocks and real estate, and the profits are kept to themselves, while the losses are recorded in the accounts of state-owned enterprises, which is disguised corruption.

Amidst the loss of state-owned assets, a large amount of funds flowed into private pockets. Some people engage in gambling to make money and become addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves. Those who win want to win all the time, those who lose a little want to protect their capital, and those who lose a lot want to recover their losses. It goes round and round in a vicious circle. The result is that they lose when they gamble, and they are greedy when they lose. The more they gamble, the more they lose. , The more you lose, the more greedy you become, the more greedy you become, the darker you become, the more you gamble, the bolder you become, and you get out of hand.

Some people steal bicycles, some abduct women and children, etc. All for the sake of "money", no matter what the means.
