Greed Is Not a Sin

Greed is thinking you need something you don't. It can happen to anyone. It's not a sin. The sin is the pain that it causes to those who pursue life in this manner and do not know it. The person does not sin. The pain that is caused is the sin. No person commits sin. The pain is the sin, not the person. Pain takes one away from who they are. Pain, anxiety and fear create confusion and misunderstanding. Discomfort and anxiety are sin; they are contrary to understanding ourselves and others. They are signals to find relief, to change our course. Nothing else.
