People try to be more important than everyone else. It's not really greed, it's more like envy or fear. People with a strong demeanor who are weaker in communication skills can oppress others very easily and they may not even know why themselves.
The mind gets excited when it receives a Dopamine shot from our metabolism and this happens when we achieve something. Like athletes or actors, or when everyone applauds you for a job well done. That shot basically affirms who we are and what we do. Problem is, people can become addicted to it. That's when we need to stand up for ourselves to stop their Dopamine fix at our expense.
Titus 2:15 "These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you."
That's what Jesus did! He didn't let anyone trample on Him or talk down to Him. He stood His ground in the face of adversity all while respecting His opponents. Mind you He is God incarnate and has all the answers, but it is a beautiful example of what we can do simply by following Jesus' teachings. And stopping oppression against us.
