Kanske lite passande att veckans fredagslista handlar om girighet i ett land där julhandeln säkerligen har slagit rekord igen.
På Wikipedia kan vi lära oss följande om girighet
Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the Church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions. Thomas Aquinas wrote, "Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. Hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by Greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one attempts to purchase or sell sacraments, including Holy Orders and, therefore, positions of authority in the Church hierarchy.
As defined outside of Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth.[21]
Vi kör!
Vi drar oss till minnes AMORPHIS under bandets tidigare del av karriären med en skiva då Pasi Koskinen hanterade sången - "Tuonela" Väldigt längesedan jag lyssnade på den skivan som kom 1999, och det var ett glatt återhörande kan jag säga! Låten Greed har ett skönt och tungt tempo som jag verkligen uppskattar.




Nu kan ni återgå till frossandet!
