There are so many good answers I tell my children that, in my opinion, there isn't enough people allowing the holy ghost/ spirit into their hearts. If Jesus is within yours is a life full of love & charity for all your fellow brothers/sisters and compassion for all others.

I can see what you mean flying around up here. Wouldn't it be nice if we all would do as Jesus Christ would... helping our neighbors when in need instead of being greedy.
Greed is what has been ruining this world.
When will it stop?
At least God notices the small acts of kindness usually the poor person does:)

The bible tells us "man's heart is evil and desperately wicked". This of course is all a result of the "Original Sin" or the "Fall" when man disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden fruit when he was warned by God not to do so.

Because inside they are like frightened children who felt that they suffered some sort of loss, and they weren't able to let go of it. And selfishness breeds selfishness, so it's a vicious cycle. All it takes is one act of selflessness to slow that cycle down.

People are selfish because they just think of themselves and their own feelings!

It is human nature to be selfish and look out for one's self.
Learning how to be like JESUS means learning to look out for others, not to the point of where you are in dire need and cannot help yourself, not enabling them to do evil ,but to help them if and when you can.To sacrifice if it will make them and you and the world better.

Tell her that most people rather have more than enough, even if it means the next person has next to nothing. Also tell her that, in life, there often isn't enough to go around for everyone, so your success often means the failure of others.

a thoughtful question for a nine-year old
the Bible calls it the pride of life - essentially people have become their own gods
as children we actually learn selfishness from those around us
