Greed Greed is a disordered desire to possess wealth, status and power; the unmeasured love for money. Greed undermines character; it is the cancer of justice, self-control, courage and prudence. Greed blinds the person and societies. Greed brings down banks, buildings, insurance companies, law firms and city councils. Greed deforms magnanimity and knows no humility. We must keep greed on check through virtue. Greedy people will not listen; will always justify their actions in irrational ways. Greed is epitomised at the corporate level as profit maximization; at government level as expenditure maximization; at the personal level as immediate gratification. We have also seen poor countries go into inflationary spirals caused by unchecked expenditure: Government greed, which is often accompanied by personal greed,: The last UN monitory group report from the central bank of Somalia was disappointing! The future is bright in Somalia. I see an incredible and unbelievable flourishing talent in the young men and women I meet every day. It is just a matter of time! Young Somalis do not lack talent: Schools and universities need to raise standards. It is not about making money. It is not about simple transmission of knowledge. It is about forming “character.” We have a duty to create structures to make it possible. All these dreams will remain dreams unless leaders, including politicians, stay focus.
