Why are people so mixed up in their greed?

In this day of age people all aroud us are so distracted by their greed and wealth that they hardly notice people who have no posperity. Our community, to a large extent think that they need more money and valuables than they already have. I admit sometimes I wish I could have more cloths and popular items. Once I get those items I start to notice how others wish to have the same thing but don't have the money. I wish that we all could just put down our greed and help others who don't have a proper home or other items that are needed for them. So please stop thinking of yourselves and go out there and serve and help those in need.
