Are humans basically greedy? No. \nHumans are selfish, yes. But greed and selfishness are two different things. \n\nGreed is an EXCESSIVE desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth. While Selfishness is the concept and/or practise of concern with the advancement of one's own interests and hapiness above others. Selfishness is more like an act of self-preservation. While greed is an excess. That is where the mind comes in. We have the option. It is our choice. \n\n"No human wants to leave the power he(she)enjoys until it is snatched." This statement is synonymous to ignorance is a crime which excuses no one.Why settle for less when you know that there is something better?

If you've noticed in mankind's history that most wars are fought in the name of God/Religion with the real motivation of land, money and power -- People basically kill for greed, they want what the other person has, that's why killing always has a motive -- This unfortunate fact will never change untill mankind can learn to be happy with what they have and are happy to share what they have with others --

:}\nEasy with Satan's assistance.\n\nHumans want, by our fallen and selfish nature, to escape his Lordship.\n\nFrom infancy we are concerned with ourselves and our needs\nIt's difficult to suppress the :Me " in favor of the "Him".\n\nSatan then willingly supplies us with all kinds of worldly reasons we can grab onto. Philosophy, pseudo -science, secular humanism, atheism etc.

I am sure you already know that people are not things to be owned. But maybe you can think of it this way, If you control the other you will take everything that they bring into the relationship. Their will becomes your will and therefore they loose their own will. It cannot be fun interacting with someone who has no will of their own. You will quickly find yourself very lonely since they have given you all of themself.\nThe most healthy relationship will be the one where trust is. Where neither attempts to control the other. \nWhat right do you have to control someone else?\nWhat right does anyone else have to control you?\nYou can certianly give that right. But by doing so you loose your will.

I agree with Clair and the others who supported her position. It is a question of whether you believe our lives are pre-determined by Fate, or the stars or whether human beings can become in charge of their own destiny.\n\nDespite all the New Age distractions, we live in a Scientific Age, not an Age of Superstitions.

no .. you should just stay out of it.. no one takes anyone away, unless that person wants to go.. you have to remember we all have our own minds and free will..

Being a person that was recently saved, I think it is more an ego thing than anything.  People want to be their own God, or in control of their own lives, etc.  WHen you finally realise that He exists, and let Him into yoru heart, that ego goes away.  It's just hard to give it up in the first place.

In order to do exactly all those things you mentioned: enslave humans, abuse women... bascially to be in control in a male-dominated society.  It's so easy to control people when you say, "this is what God wants!"  People are very submissive in the face of a diety.  You have to remember that the Bible was written in a totally different time and reflects the laws and mores of that culture.  It's not that there aren't some good lessons we can take from the Bible, but people shouldn't take everything so literally!

No one has power solely by their own hand.God allows some to have power but in an earth sense some although are confidants of the dark one and achieve power through wasting their years away pondering on how to become more powerful.This also is true with the rich they are never content with what they have they must always maintain a step ahead of what was once thought to be suitable in their gain.The fact is power is only obtain by to ways on this earth God or satan.I desire neither because as one answered there is great responsiblity attached to it.

The same reason anyone uses coercion to get what they want. It is a control issue. These kinds of people are putting their problems on your shoulders and if you accept that responsibility you deserve it. It is sad but true.

Despite my best efforts.\n\nIt's a weird thing about efforts to control, in trying to control everything, we end up out of control.\n\nThe ultimate state of control is being able to give up control, if you will.

all my friends have super natural power  but all in different ways . Some can make me laugh in sorrow, while few can read my my mind sometimes. power does not mean it should act like a magic but it should be magic in itself.

rather lose the one that can't commit. even if someone couldn't give me everything, that's okay.\n Sometimes wishes are worth something, especially when the wisher is sitting next to you.

I would reservedly agree with you. I think it is human nature to want control and exploit...governments have the money and power to do so and they always want more of both.

Do not underestimate the power of the human body. Equal to survival is the human need for reproduction. Quite strong. More-so than most average morale and logic. A person who disciplines their mind could overcome. But those who follow their bodily desire like kittens in a field, chasing each butterfly stimuli only to become distracted by the next create the dilemma you bring to our attention. It's not in everyone's life path to do such, for in my beliefs, no matter how unfortunate and saddening to human emotion, all things happen in a finely intricate web of cause and effect, all tying into the same destiny. The chaos that we see, is really misunderstood harmony of what lifes main destiny has in store for us. In a way we create it, but do to our circumstances, there could be no other way for it to be. Such a postulate being out of scope of human emotion, makes for an impossibility for one to feel the need of going throughout life feeling irresponsible for their actions. You're destined to choose but that choice was included in that main web of destiny. Choice and destiny being one and the same. Simply put, Learning to accept and not force our expectations onto others, could only make for the best of worlds, but due destiny has in store what due destiny has in store, which in a sense, is the greatest perfection.
