Composition, Greed

Greed, the ugly face of the humans. What drives one human to do the unthinkable and destroys the life on another? Greed, followed by the hatred by those who were harmed by this greed. War, another action taken by nations which is also in the name of greed. More land, more riches, more food, more luxury, all in the expenses of the people who sacrificed their lives for their warlords and nations.

Even before when humans merged civilisations and formed countries, greed exists nevertheless. Robbing the weaker of their food, killing one another senselessly for food, violence that exists in the heart was driven by again, greed. Even after we are so called "civilised", greed still exist in our hearts even though it may violate our humanity. Who are the inhuman ones? Is it the savage animals who kill just for food? Or us, the ones who destroy millions of habitats, excavate rocks in mines, depleting the ozone layer and fossil fuels, returning to the dying earth with pollution? It is all in the name of greed. Does the term inhuman refer to our hypocritical actions or excuses made by other humans to show how pious they may be?

The holocaust and slavery, a great example of humans who massacre and abuse their own species in the name of greed and profits. The humans deprive other humans of what they deserve, can they really be human? Does empathy still exists in their hearts? Why are there such acts being commited by us even when we more developed in thinking and are filled with virtues taught to us? It is all, greed which cannot be erased from our hearts.
