Greed is a disease born in absence of knowing ones own Divine self and the value of Life itself. We are born from Divine Energy and as we grow from infancy we slowly lose touch with that feeling as we adapt to the demands of life in this world and a vaccum ensues. In an effort to fill that vacuum of emptiness we do many things and pursue many ideas in search of happiness, forgetting all the while that happiness has always been within us quietly waiting to be engaged and felt. When we fufilled from within ourselves we value our life more and hence all life around us more.
To value all life from the budding flower of a seedling to the divine living animals and creatures roaming upon the earth to mankind himself is to fulfill the true quest for happiness in life. Mankind is created in the image of God to realize his own divinity and the divinity of all life and hence the joy of Heaven upon Earth while living. Herein lies the foundation of enlightenment, within the hearts of human beings. – a smith
