Greed: covetousness that shadows relationships

Dear Coach, My big brother is a nuisance. I am so sorry to say this but it is his behaviour that makes me to say that. Our parents have both departed from the phase of this earth and we are left with three of our younger siblings.

Two of them, a boy and a girl are still at high school. Our parents left so much inheritance that we could continue a living with but my brother is busy scattering it simply because he wants to always have money in his wallet.

Unfortunately, he has been unemployed ever since and now after tasting the death benefits we were awarded, he is more greedy and stupid at the same time. I deliberately call him stupid because he has no business mind that could potentially regenerate income for him but rather he spends it on women and alcohol. He has had more than P100, 000 that he has in his possession thus far, but he still sleeps on the same bed our parents bought for him while he was studying at the university in Zimbabwe.
