Default Good or bad? Depends...

Greed is a powerful motivator when used at the right time, the right oportunity. Whether good or bad depends on the outcome. Good for you can mean bad for someone else and vice versa. Unchecked, it can lead to ruin.

Greed motivates the sucker to hand over his life savings in the hopes of doubling it overnight. I love it when you hear stories in the news of people being swindled out of their life savings or some other prized possession. They run to the press or the police crying foul, never to learn the lesson, never to master the passion.
