Well, I believe that both Greediness and Gambling Addiction make our lives terrible. I was thinking about which one of the two reasons causes more disastrous in our life both in terms of mental health and finances.

When it comes to life (in this case, gambling), I don't see greed as such a terrible thing as addiction. Maybe it's because it boils down to my perception of greed being a second skin to mankind. Every man has that character trait and I don't use it loosely in this sense. I equate that greed with ambition. It's greed and the lure of chasing what we don't have that has thrown man into labouring everyday to make ends meet. Anyone who isn't greedy won't struggle to be in a better place/employment, and that's what we all seek; whether we admit it or not.

As for addiction, that's a cancer that has derailed so many and wrecked homes. I rather be greedy than addicted.

I think so many of us will be quite confuse on this particular notion of your view about greed and addiction, well personally I feel greed is what actually fuel the engine to one being addicted although there are many ways people get to control their greed but at the foremost of all greed is what drives that feeling of wanting to try again thinking the next try will yeild something positive.
