Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.
You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it’s an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.
Greed applies to all of these companies let’s be honest.
That’s kind of companies work. The problem is when the company becomes the industry standard.
Basically go for smaller companies and generic brand products. They are better sometimes anyway.
Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.
Lust - Greed for sex
Sloth - Greed for relaxation
Gluttony - Greed for food
Envy - Greed of others stuff
The only two that don’t really fit under greed is pride and wrath
Can’t the same be said about Lust?
Greed is lust for money
Pride - Greed for attention
Wrath - Greed for violence
Pride could work but wrath is a stretch
Wrath - Greed for control
Wrath - Greed for self-serving ends
I was gonna put pride in there as greed for power but pride comes in many forms.
As for wrath I don’t see it as a greedy thing it’s something that is provoked. Evoked I should say.
