Greed Vs Envy Novels & Stories

“So is there any way you can defeat Greedius?” “Greed is a very scary thing. Because of greed, people are born jealous and selfish. They are willing to kill their own kind to be immortal, to become the strongest. That has always been the law of life. However, there are exceptions to everything in this world. If people overcome greed, greed will not exist. If in the middle of greed put a fruit, the power of greed will become meaningless. In love, there is no more or less, only enough.” Aubrey bragged.

Why? Because of jealousy and envy, you become a bad person. You do things you shouldn't do. You do things you thought you couldn't do on your own. But because of those two, you can handle it you do. Money is the root of evil, yes. But envy and jealousy can also be the root of evil.

The breath that I was holding inside came out of my mouth like the leaking gas of a balloon. I was slightly taken aback but tried to look normal as I felt he was staring at me. He tried to prove himself innocent this time, didn't he? Of course, he planned it. He is already so lucky, the breadwinner but I think he wants more. People are just greedy animals. When he gets a seat to sit, he wants a bed to lay down. Greed is all about acquiring things. Acquiring money, acquiring power, acquiring attention, acquiring time and so on. The running mantra is "I want. I want. I want."

Yet the woman stood her ground, an flitter of smugness in her expression once she noticed that he words had gotten to Aspen. “Jealousy? Greed?” Aspen let out a dry chuckle from low in his chest. He seemed almost maniacal as he looked down at his mother. “Greed is not caring that your precious Julian killed your husband because you wanted a more controllable Alpha, greed is letting him wreck havoc and destroy the foundations and reputations of this pack that has been around for centuries! Greed is repeatedly telling me I can never amount to anything just so you won’t have anyone touch the precious power you had wrapped around your fingers!” Aspen growled out, enunciating each word as he spoke

“I don’t think it is going to be that easy. Our pack isn’t special. There isn’t anything here that someone would want.” He tilts his head. “You never know. It could be something you don’t even think is special, but they want. Often times, it doesn’t take much for someone else to want it. It could be as simple as someone likes where your pack lands are situated compared to the other packs. This territory is away from the big packs like mine. Or it could be something like some rare herb or produce that only your pack raises which they want. You never know what makes a person greedy or jealous of what someone else has.”

The guests criticized me again, “People get married to build a life together. You got married just to scheme against your mother-in-law, didn’t you?” “If everyone could get a million dollars just by getting married, why bother working? They might as well get money by taking a wife.” Their gazes were as sharp as blades that could kill. “A man as wicked and cunning as you would’ve been beaten to death back in the old days.” I did not bother arguing with them anymore. Instead, I walked over and turned on the giant screen in the banquet hall. Everyone could see the record of Emerald’s transfer to my bank account as well as our chat history.

Step by step, their greed, selfishness, ingratitude, and betrayal drive them to the edge. Kindness was a choice, a virtue. It was not an obligation, especially not for those who don’t deserve it. I often thought that if I hadn’t had that car, that office building, those connections like Mr. Parker, maybe the person digging through trash under the bridge that night would have been me. This world is never gentle. Sometimes, it’s cruel. This was my final lesson for Winnie and Noah. However, the tuition was steep. Too steep that they would pay for it with their lives.

It completely separated me from the toxic binds that tied me with him, his family, and his pack. “And…” A mischievous glint formed on my lips as I swiveled my brows and added, “Seeing Glenda gritting in jealousy and Bryson fuming mad whenever they see me unbothered with what happened was so satisfying.” Since I saw Glenda, she had been reeking with envy and jealousy. Despite the glory and honor she received as a warrior, she always wanted more and felt greedy to be above everyone else—not because she aimed for excellence but to be on top.
