I've never been able to figure out what a lifestyle was.

Only when it comes to books.
Seriously, I have everything I need, and most of the things I want: A house, warm clothes, food, two great kids, a wonderful, funny, and loving mate, and a circle of friends that no money could buy. What's to be greedy about?
It may be a cheesy line, but it's true: "It's not getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got." I think I'd be very unhappy if I were greedy, because greed, by definition, can never be satisfied.
And if I don't have -everything- I want, well, that just gives me something to work for. But if I don't get it, I'm still happy.

Pagans don't live a greedy lifestyle. I'm not sure where you get that idea from. Most pagan paths have a focus on balance of one kind or another, and greed would not be considered in balance

I don't think so. I've known quite a few neo-pagans through the years and none of them seemed to live an especially greedy lifestyle. But I'm sure that there are people who fall into that category from all religions--including neo-paganism. People are people.

*looks around*
Um, define greedy. I have three kids. Do they want for things? Sure, but not much. There is a solid roof over thier head, shoes on their feet and food on the table. Twice a year we clean out thier toys and donate them to the Childrens advocacy. It teaches them about those less fortunate and that we should share any fortune we have.
We go with out lots of things so that I can stay home with our kids. Why? Because we think it's important. I don't think that's very greedy either.
So I suppose I would you to define greed, because I don't have a whole hel of a lot to show for mine except three great kids.

I'd think it would be the opposite. Pagans, to me, seem to be more sharing than greedy, wanting to helpful and caring.

From my experience with multiple religions, the pagans I have known have been the second least greedy (Buddhists have been the least greedy).

Whatever magic you once had has faded away. Leave now, while my memory of you is still favorable.
You might not post here for my benefit, but I post here for yours.
