Perhaps the word “greed” is not officially considered an onomatopoeia. Somehow though, to me, it definitely seems like one. And so, I deemed it just that! The sound of it is just so greedy, if you know what I mean. When I look at the word, the “e’s” seem to be a pair of green, greedy eyes narrowed into thin slits. Then, my artistic mind draws droplets hanging down from the “g” and “d”, so that I actually see greediness dripping down from the letters themselves. Taking into account the greedy look and sound of it, I am not fond of the word “greed” at all.
You may not share my sentiments on the word “greed” but, undoubtedly, you agree that the emotion itself is by far not a pretty one. On target, am I not? Greediness is not a trait one would feel proud to display (though, by virtue of its ugly nature, it has a tendency to flaunt itself…). Nevertheless, being that greediness is a human emotion, and considering the fact that we (well, a significant percentage of us at least!) fall under the category of “human beings”, we are all prone to having, can we call it “bouts”?, of greediness once in a while. Not commendable, but understandable! Still, it would do us well to keep our eyes open for signs of impending greed, to be wary of being ensnared in greed’s greedy clutches.
