Those are all excellent options and I do not argue that each of those options by themselves are difficult to be inferred as ‘greed’.

My argument, however, is why does “expanding our lifestyle” by itself satisfy the requirement of greed? If that is the case, then anyone with internet is ‘greedy’. Anyone with a car is ‘greedy’. Anyone with a house is ‘greedy’.

The problem with “expanding our lifestyle” as the only requirement for the definition of greed is we are all expanding our lifestyle when we go beyond the bare essentials required for life as defined by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. So, who gets to define when enough is enough? Therein lies the problem.

So is donating to the FReepathon an action of greediness?

**So, who gets to define when enough is enough?**

Isn’t that up to each man’s or woman’s conscience?
