Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures, the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind..And here, the Tribe of Joseph whines that their inheritance is not enough and that they need to steal more of the land from the Canaanites. Greed seems to be shaping the lands in Joshua. Why be content with what you have when you can get more and make others miserable in the process?
But really, I can't really complain about this while I type on a computer made in china and wear clothes from bangledesh. The byproduct of my greed just isn't as obvious as Joseph's claim for more land...
