The futility of greed
Being greedy will never leave you satisfied or bring you a feeling of contentment in your life because you will never attain everything you want in life. The emotion of greed does not allow you to ever feel that you have enough and can only destroy you bit by bit through forcing you to strive harder in pursuit for more. image source
Indeed @allover! "Greed" is a rapacious beast, demanding to be fed because its very existence depends on "GETTING" more! It is consumed with the "More Disease"! Like you so insightfully pointed out, the host is left with empty dissatisfaction despite the beast being compulsively fed!
Compare that to a Giving Beast which is beautiful thing! For its very existence, it needs to be fed by "GIVING" more. It too is consumed with the "More Disease"! Unlike the Greedy host, the Giving host is left with full and deep satisfaction!
Just me thinking here ...

Your comments are nicely put @kismet2018. Thank for taking the time to read and comment on my post. Greed is everywhere and has been the cause for much unhappiness around the world.
Greed is often driven by an even baser emotion; fear.
You have plenty of money, food, travel, gadgets, whatever, but you want to hoard more and more because you fear it could all be gone tomorrow. Or you fear that those who (apparently) have more than you will be more popular, or will get better treatment.
The bizarre thing that happens to many people though, is they take risks to get what they want quickly, which increases their fear of loss (of materials or status), which drives them into greed.
I have seen multiple examples of people in the crypto-currency space taking risks with their hard earned money on some fake moon-coin. It may work a few times but in the end they mess up and are heartbroken.
Yes, fear of failure is a powerful force.
