Side effects of greed

Now let us just briefly discuss how greed affects the world in general. Greed can be called as a spiritual imperfection that when let loose can actually produce profound affects on a vast scale . Voracity has brought about more harm to the connections of families and companions. Families are losing their homes in which they have lived in for quite a long time to the hunger for property distribution amongst siblings. Instead of preserving the family home as a sign of a consolidated family, it is not bizarre today to see vacant homes with "bank possessed" signs posted in the windows. This is really a presentation of voracity where the material things are more significant than individuals. The monetary discouragement has made guardians lose their employments, in this manner not able to pay their home loans. This wellspring of ravenousness genuinely exhibits that our general public, "treasures things more than individuals or connections."
There is flip side to it too . Just to avoid property and land division there is set of people especially in South Asian culture that endorses a cruel practice called polyandry where a family of men,usually three to five siblings, marry a single woman into their home in order to avoid the distribution of land and property amongst the generations thus preserving it. So a single woman acts as a wife to many grooms although she is legally married to only one. She has to serve all the men in the house and carry on all the duties including sex. This practice was very common in the past ,although less prevalent now ,in parts of  India ,Nepal and even China but it still exists. This form of greed , although lets the families stay put but is highly unacceptable and unhealthy .
A lot of greed stricken people have developed scams like debt relief, home modification,travel scams that portray on the surface as great deals like " making money overnight" and inviting friends and family but actually terminates the sole foundation of relationships once the scam is exposed. Both the parties are at fault ,the fraudulent and the victims. Both of them have tongues hanging out and dollar signs in the eyes resulting in daydreaming and ending in deception.
Fake or stolen tax identities is just another example of  heinous acts like greed. People all over the world are affected by this form of criminal greed which is also triggered by poverty. People living below the poverty line are easy preys of such sins. It is interesting to note that even a pure feeling like love has been diluted with greed . On the television program  CBS This Morning, a poll showed that when a younger woman is seen with an older man, she is considered to be 53% greedier and not necessarily in love with this older man. There have been examples in the past where people have given up their wealths and royal status for love and now we have individuals who fake love to get wealthy and in power. Politicians are driven by greed and 50  percent of the population believe that the greedier the person ,the more successful he is because greed has no soul or heart just an empty compartment that keeps filling and filling .
