Episode Details

 Greed is explored not only as the desire for money or possessions, but also as the craving for power, recognition, success, and control. The programme examines how this restless pursuit of “more” — whether material or non-material — prevents the heart from being at peace. We consider how modern culture quietly encourages greed through status, achievement, influence, and comparison with others. The spiritual effects are discussed: weakened trust in God, diminished generosity, and a growing self-focus that distances us from others. Finally, we reflect on the antidote to greed — gratitude, simplicity, and discovering that true richness is found in faith, love, and contentment.
