Greed is the Seed of All Sins

In my opinion the most deadly of the seven sins is GREED. It not only makes people selfish but it enables people to rob the poor for their own personal aggrandizement. I think it is also at the root of most of the other six sins. We see a proliferation of GREED not only among Christians but among all people everywhere and this is eroding values and morals of a civilized society.
