Earlier in this thread, somewhere, we talked about whether or not hoarding is greed. Most folks seemed to agree, hoarding is not greedy.

If hoarding is not greed, then what is greed?

Now I realize this seems like a huge question.

But..here is google-provided definition of greed:

"Intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food."

Is a chronic over-eater with morbid obesity greedy?

Is a super-rich guy who makes tons and tons of money, more than he could ever spend greedy?

Is Trump greedy for wanted political power?

So is a person who wants way, way, way more stuff than they need greedy?

Or do they have a mental illness. And if they have a mental illness does not the over-eater, the Donald, and other super rich guy who amasses wealth he cannot ever spend or enjoy?
