Greed was never good. It gives you a wish for something you just can not achieve (at least not if you don't know any person in higher rank - personally ) Greed makes your life miserable. If you care about your health, don't be greedy

All human beings are greedy at least a little, we all want something we would like to have, to say otherwise would be to deny nature. Greed is the only thing that motivates us to become something better, by educating ourselves so that we can work and/or create ways to achieve our goals, certainly, we will always want more. It is an insatiable thing, but let's say that with greed we will live "well", if you work for your goals then it is likely that you will have many more goods and wealth than if you did not work for them. Therefore, you and society will be "better" than if no one had done anything at all. On the other hand, without greed, we human beings would be absolutely conformist, to the point that we would not need anything except what is necessary to survive... In other words, misery. Greed is not in itself bad, nor is it good, yet its very existence and the effect it has on our societies has done much more good than bad, however much one may want to see the opposite, today's progress comes from the greed of people who have to share it out.
What you are talking about is not greed itself. Greed means, you are never satisfied, you always want something more. In history, word greed is mostly used in a sense of grabbing and holding everything for yourself. Nowdays, I know some people who always want more and are never satisfied, and that kind of behaviour does not do any good for your personality. I see that daily as people are not satesfied with what they have, but they have plenty of things, gadgets, good life...and they always want more. That is greed.
They have a good life, they want an even better life, that's not bad. It would be bad if they had a bad or regular life and didn't want to do anything to improve it, as I said before, there are different levels of greed, when you are so greedy that you feel miserable and can't sleep at night because of it, that will obviously hurt you... But using greed to fuel your ambition and motivate you to achieve your goals doesn't hurt your personality, quite the contrary. And thanks to this, positive results are achieved, for the individual and society.
