Gollum, who once bore another name committed his first act of greed long before we hear of him in the Hobbit. "His precious" was found by another, and he wanted it...because it was bright and shiny and looked like treasures his grandmother had, so he used "its my birthday" as an excuse to murder the other and take the ring. It is his greed, in the first instance that he takes possession of the ring, that decrees hat the ring will do to, and for, him.

He wanted the ring all for himself and was willing to kill his best friend for it. That's pretty greedy.

I do not believe he was. To be politically correct I would say he had an extreme obsessive compulsive disorder brought on by the rings inherent magic.

He was thoroughly corrupted by the ring of power. He could not escape it’s influence and became it’s slave.

he wanted the ring all to himself and he never understood the true power of the ring, and that it controled him.

Are you kidding? Did you READ the book? If so, think about it for 2 minutes. If not, get off the computer and read the damn book.
