Greed May not be Good but its not so Bad Either

Avarice or Greed the very word of something truly selfish, or this perhaps a mistake or a misunderstanding? While its true that Greed is in fact one of the 7 human desires that can be proven deadly to a person if taken to extremes, is it really so bad? Just one little quote about it the topic got into my head and got me thinking about it:
"Maybe you wanna bring back someone you lost, you might want money, maybe you want women or men, or you might want to protect the world. These are all common things that people want. Things that their hearts desire. Greed may not be good but its not so bad either. People think Greed is for money or power but in truth everyone wants something they don't have"
Perhaps that is just how we are wired to be, we will always want things whether it be love, material objects, status, glory, friends, dreams, sex, money, power, etc. I personally don't look at Greed as something that is bad, sure there are people who do get carried away by the little things in life such as money and whatnot, but their are people like me who are greedy in the sense that they want someone to always love them and be theirs and want friends they share bonds with. To me this kind of Greed doesnt sound bad at all. It just means they dont want to be alone. And somehow my thoughts for people who look to objects to satisfy their greedy needs are to me very lonely people who want people to share bonds with, but dont nessiarly know how to pursue that correctly. Basically I believe someone who is truely greedy needs someone friends or lover before their greed can be satisfied perhaps then someone like that could then see the error of their ways and work to change themself. Also someone needs to see them for the person they really are.

Sorry if this topic sounds a bit strange, I don't think I fully understand Greed yet but While thinking about it I sorta had one person in mind, whom is someone ive never met and probably still wont meet her sadly but from stories I hear of her she sounds like someone who is indeed a very greedy person. I can just hope that it doesnt go to her head although it probably has years ago, who knows.

Well i guess I still got alot to learn and think about when it comes to people and how and why they are the way they are, but its always so interesting haha. Im just glad thoughts like these and things like this I learn are helpful for whenever my friends or anybody really who comes to me for advice or help, they say once you can fully understand the 7 desires you can pretty much understand alot of different people haha, but anyayz I was also thinking that i've made some progress in what you would call my purpose or something I want to do, its like when I give advice or help my friends it feels like I really helped them and made a diffrence, also it really helps that I kinda have the ability to walk in their shoes and understand how they feel. I think perhaps one day I could maybe become like a therapst or something, although im not saying that something I wanna do quite yet, its still something I can think about later, besides im content with just helping my friends and lover, and anyone whos just asks :D
