Greed, selfishness and hatred remain as constant as the human condition. The human condition comprises the totality of our experiences of being human and living human lives. As mortal entities, there are a series of determined events which are common to most human lives and some which are inevitable for everyone. The ongoing way in which humans react to or cope with these events is the human condition. Everything in human life depends on the manner in which we experience the human condition, how we respond to this condition and whether we manage the human condition in a creative or a destructive direction. Greed, selfishness and hated are part of our basic emotional construct with evolutionary underpinnings that is heavily influenced by our interaction to our environment. Our “environment” compromise of both internal and external influences and the molded history that is our knowledge and experiences. Society is also a great influence on our “environment” and in many ways society preserves our built in emotional constructs of greed and our other human responses such as fear, selfishness and hatred. The human condition is always changing because our “environment” is always changing but contradictory to that I believe that Greed, selfishness and hatred will remain set in our human condition as long as we have a world filled with money, entertainment and a socially oriented population then there will most likely be greed, selfishness and hatred in our human condition. Society therefore prevents greed
