Human need is physical and physiological... to survive, subsist with
enough energy, be in good health, work and grow.
Human greed is over and above its need, driven by want, felt
insecurity or a personal sense of inadequacy and incompletion but
directed at the material world around oneself... first, to fill the
personal gap materially, and then, to that sense of power which
strokes us into an immediate psychological satisfaction.
Paracetamol would my need if I am feverish. ( Wishing ) To hoard a
roomful of it would my greed - I. Having the power over others and
over the phenomena about, through such hoarding, is my greed - II.
Everybody is entitled to meet his need and two-and-a-half inch of his
greed !
