Greed. Is it really so bad? While being one of the seven deadly sins, greed is a motive that implies self gain and cheating others out of any positive gain. In reality, greed can actually help everyone if looked at from a different perspective. For example, think about Bill Gates. While being the richest man in the world, he has opened job opportunities that would have never been there without him creating Microsoft. He may have much more money than he needs, but he also has given people the opportunity to make a living. Just because he makes so much money does not mean he took it from anyone, if anything he has created one of the most successful, constantly expanding companies that will live on after he is gone to provide people with more jobs and profit for themselves.
