Perhaps the believe that money will buy you happiness? Or people that are content at least to have an illusion of happiness by owning pretty objects.
Greed is ancient. Some people wonder why there were tomb robbers in Ancient Egypt. Didn't they worship their pharaohs as gods? Didn't they believe the body must be intact to go to the afterlife? One may think.
Well, yes they did. But that didn't stop them. The tomb robbers were often the ones working on the tombs. In some cases, the Pharaohs, under the believe that any pharaoh's property is the living pharaoh's property, were the ones to order the robbing.
