Or the same could be said of your relentless attachment to the word 'greed' Shamou, which is normally used and viewed in a negative sense. Perhaps there is a better way to describe the traits you see and wish to highlight as desirable? Like anything there are different views on words...for instance the 'sticks and stones' or it's 'just a word' view, or the view that words can cause you to be arrested, and have even caused wars, or visa versa have inspired people to amasing feats.
