here's another definition for greed..

"greed is the FEAR of not getting or keeping something one doesn't need and/or have a right to, or getting or keeping it with violence".. violence being physical or non-physical.

non-physical violence can be 'running away'..

example of greed... you need an antidote for some malady that you and other people have. there isn't enough for everyone. but you take the antidote anyway. you have committed violence on the others who need the antidote too. your act was greedy.

non-greed.. the antidote will only work for you, or there is more than enough for everyone. you need the antidote and take it. you have violated no one, and your act wasn't greedy.

since gates earned his money, he wasn't greedy in taking it. he has the right to keep it too... but i don't know how violent he is in keeping it..
