I definitely agree with you, and I think that a possible solution lies in striving for utter selflessness, although that's extremely difficult. If people stop to reflect on how absurdly wealthy a tiny percentage of the population is (and I mean all Americans and most of North America, Australia, and Europe, even the poor, because we have social welfare) and how desparately impoverished the rest of the world is, that's a step. Simplifying one's life, or even just taking stock of how many unnecessary possessions one has, can start a lot of good thinking.

Adopting the Marxist socio-economic policy where each and every person produces according to their ability and receives according to their need. The very essence of communism which, without the corruption that perverted the idea theoretically should have worked.

Cease to desire.
Be happy and filled with what ever is present in your life and there will be nothing to get jealous or greedy over.

If only people would take time to read the Holy Scriptures and follow God's advice, then we would have less problems in getting along with our fellow man. 1Cor. 6:9,10 states: "What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit God's kingdom."

The solution is to find happiness and be content with yourself....be happy with what you do have and God will bless you with more,.....sometimes it's not spiritual, sometimes it's just your personality!

Just get everything you want.
The alternative is to change what you desire.
