To me, desire is a permanent want, period. Now, we're on the same page.

Not really since your definition for desire makes no sense
Ha, I could say the same about your definition of greed.

I put my definitions of greed and desire in retrospect like this.

Someone who desires power will always desire power until he has a power that can't be surpassed. If it can be, then he'll desire more power.

With greed, that person is more concerned with "how much power is available, because I want i all" It's not really quantity or quality, but you can look at it like that if it helps.

So what do you believe desire is?

Only that's not true, someone who desires power may stop if they find love, or end up with a child, and gaining more power would just increase their lust
Sorry you kind of lost me there. It's fine to disagree with my definitions, but could you run by me again what you believe the definition of desire is?

Desire is wanting something period, Greed is wanting more period

I was saying that if someone who always desired power found someone he loved he might realize it's not the most important thing and stop desiring power, and gaining power would just make it worse
Oh, that's fine. In the end you could say your definition of greed relates more closely to my definition of desire and my definition of desire relates more closely to your definition of greed. I usually consider things to be in general or specific. You can desire or be greedy about a certain power, or you can desire or be greedy about power in general. I just read your post and thought, "Even if there was no human greed, human desire would still persist the same problem"

And you're right, anyone can stop desiring something and even stop being greedy altogether if they wanted to. Based on something else they've discovered or just by themselves.

Desire leads to greed, you can't just destroy one, you can't just take one out it doesn't work that way, not even hypothetically
Well, greed is a trait. Desire is, in essence, people's basis for living. There are people who aren't greedy, but good luck finding a man alive who doesn't desire.

Why would they do that when they can just claim its your fault because the console moved a millimeter while a disk was inside


Just curious...how many accounts have you gone through so far death?

Fable done steampunk style o.0 Sure the review said it wasn't steampunk, but I don't think the writer has any idea what steampunk is if he doesn't think swords, magic, clockwork villains, and the industrial age is steampunk. Even I have to admit it sounds pretty awesome. Yay for variety. Hopefully they can pull it off.
