Re: [Mind's Eye] Re: Greed

yes... one thing here... addiction... is it only physical... like substance abuse.... fill what right?.... always an attempt to complete or fill..... is it our condition.... naturally...or  a result of something else... and welll.. archy i was thining along those lines... that its wrong cos its bad for others...and itll be crazy if everyone does that... so what would curb it if there are no religious sanctions... ... but if you stretch it.. it goes down for all morals.. in the sense of a social contract... we just need em so that all have a liveable life.. but i dont support that view myself... poverty and austerity... povert y pretending to be austerity... keeping in mind greed....
