Among the seven cardinal sins esteemed as such by the moralists of the middle ages, four had been listed thirty centuries earlier in the Sinaitic Decalogue.
Coveting in simple terms is better known as creatively possessing what belongs to someone else. As we repeat the word “possess” under pretenses of communism we must be aware of what community generally would reject under premise - how are your entitlement practices not of socialism?
Envy is thus a sister of greed, and a half-sister of stealing.
Grasping, seizing, and stuffing away have its psychological explanation.
The preoccupation of infants filling their bellies can be called cute, amusing, or even beautiful when seen in almost any species of mammal.
But persistence of the same techniques and the same single-mindedness in the behavior of adults is not beautiful; it is not amusing; it is no longer cute.
Greediness in an adult arouses disgust in observers, but this reaction is usually not the deterrent.
The vulgarity of this residual infantile behavior is precisely what education in self-control and social concern is supposed to avert.
And when underlying explanations remain invisible – as they usually are – what is left is the stark ugliness of the most primitive propensity of predacious mammals.
So it would appear under the new capitalistic order of things as long as expressions of monetary acquisition fall under status in membership - evils of aggressive over-acquisition are legitimate even praiseworthy.
“It is the preoccupation with possession, “said Bertrand Russell “more than anything else that prevents men from living freely and nobly.”
This was a profound conclusion by a very wise man; does it receive any serious consideration?
It should due to the fact that senseless Administration avarice primarily profits by keeping clients and former clients poor through extensions.
Many are beginning to wonder do these elitists really need three cars cluttering up drive ways, garages of course filled with a boat and various sundry other pieces of equipment?
What we can’t avoid seeing is the obvious disparity in living between one man even having a billion dollars and a billion people scarcely one dollar.
This disparity is irreconcilable with an ethic that assumes that human beings are brothers, living together on the same borrowed earth, and trying to love one another for the mutual benefit of doing so.
Affluence rests upon the subtle widely held illusion in possession.
If by improper efforts Elitist groups come into recognized possession of something formerly possessed such membership thus gains a measure of prestige and power over rest through increase that add greater luxuries to already over cluttered war chests.
The way in which the sin of greed grows into Mental Illness - apparent to all, can be considered form of psychiatric peculiarity.
When not treated few rarely do anything about it to the satisfaction of associates who were not in their predicament yet conceptionally looked to be next in line.
So theoretically all these scrooges really ever accomplish is to maintain the need for flattery from poor relations, wistful friends and soon to be border lined recluses.
This is the extent of excitement one looks to sentence themselves too under this form of and in life.
Big-league stealing is generally not aspired to average voters nor individuals whereas the rules for the political party lying game are allowed to become drastically distorted as they are changed at will through stereotyping various forms and usage.
The venality of the sin depends on the content of the lie as they are commonly practiced without apology by associates and agencies in high places.
Soldiers torpedo vessels with no ammunition on board like taking candy away from babies.
In other words, while one cannot say some events were staged many will common denominate a very largely maneuvered and greatly misrepresented exploit sought it's own exploitation gain.
The Moral man, said Freud, “is not he who is never tempted”
but he who can resist his temptations.”
In conclusion every generation has its ghost riders in the storm forced to deal with those unsavory souls that were left behind uncollected on the devils deals.

How far, oh affluent administration are you willing to extend your senseless avarice in no regard before a higher power far greater than all demonstrates - no more? https://youtu.be/n9rhdNOxh8A
