Poll question: Greed versus Hatred
In your opinion, which is worse all around, greed or hatred? Of course situations may vary, so try to consider the overall harm each of these have on the world and the individual who feels greed and hatred.

The silly option in this poll actually means, "other". This option may be handy for those who feel greed and hatred are equal.

I don't know how I am going to vote yet.

3. Doesnt greed lead to hatred?
Or hatred lead to greed? Seems like everywhere I look, the two are walking hand in hand.

4. I think if you dig down, those are probably both coming from the same
place, so I find it hard to make a choice.

6. Hatred is a very active emotion...
...whereas greed can arise from utter indifference and amorality. You don't have to hate the people who have less because you take more, you don't even have to acknowledge their existence.
