      The American heritage dictionary definition 1: ^ An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth.

      Seems that both fall squarely within the definition of greed.

        You could be unwilling to share what you have while also not desiring more of what you have. They are just two different concepts.
