" This is a great definition b/c it takes the term away from the greed = rich equation, which I've always found faulty. I know someone of average income who feels SO entitled to both what she has and more, that she resents and belittles everyone wealthier than her, even if they came by their money through hard work. I think that if she resents them, she can avoid thinking about her own decisions to do the bare minimum to scrape by, when she's capable of so much more. None of which would be a problem, did she not feel that entitlement to more, more, more. As for the prayer/energy/good vibes/thoughts. . . . you got it! “Greed implies that a person feels entitled not just to what they have received, but that in fact they should have more. ” This is a great definition b/c it takes the term away from the greed = rich equation, which I’ve always found faulty.
