If you are ordinary person, gambling is more damaging than lust most of the time. Gambling often without limit lose everything.
Greed is a strong desire to have more money whereas lust is a strong feeling of sexual desire.
Greed isn't a dirty word. If someone has the skills necessary to run a business and roll in the dough or if people become wealthy by shrewd investment of their money in the stock market, you've got to give them credit. It's only when they lose their shirts gambling big-time that they're branded a complete failure.
Lust stems from the amounts of testosterone that men possess in great abundance and that stimulates the desire for sex. A continual high dose of testosterone keeps a man's sex drive high. Men really have it good - the social encouragement they've received for generations to sow their oats and ensure the human species continues.
Enslaved to lust, many play the field, dabbling in sexual escapades. Their biological urges - the urge to be promiscuous - are often completely at odds with society's rules, expectations and demands. Sow their seeds as far afield and as often as possible but also reap a harvest of pain and heartache when their infidelities begin straining their relationships. Men's philandering (biological inclinations) is ruining their relationships and is the number one cause of relationship problems.
