Absolutely. I would just add that perhaps next to fear, another subcomponent of greed is pride. Sometimes, pride itself is made of fear not to be left at a disadvantage. But often, it seems, there is just this perverse, to me incomprehensible, self satisfaction of others not getting what they need, but what you do have. It must be caused by some early childhood psychological trauma, I assume. But it is an absolute pandemic. Almost everyone has it.
