Lots of words that really just mean Greed (Glutton, Lust, Envy).

It's like people have known for thousands of years that greedy people are the fuckin worst

That’s because the sins are about exerting your will over others’/the community’s benefit and we use greed to mean wanting. Pride is greed for accolades, sloth is greed for rest, wrath is greed for emotional release.
