Pleonexia, sometimes called pleonexy, originating from the Greek πλεονεξία, is a philosophical concept which roughly corresponds to greed, covetousness, or avarice, and is strictly defined as "the insatiable desire to have what rightfully belongs to others."

  • William Barclay describes pleonexia as an " accursed love of having ", which " will pursue its own interests with complete disregard for the rights of others, and even for the considerations of common humanity ".,
 

Wow.....😳😵‍💫😱😖

Pleonexia seems to encompass far more than an overboard desire to have everything ,
but in addition, to have what belongs to others, specifically, and even when that taking, knowingly causes significant harm to others. 😵

Yikes. That's not just a case of bad values or lack of any;
it includes hateful actions toward others, to a frightful extreme.
😒😬☹️😱😣
