GOD knows all things. i would say greed /covetousness/lust result from selfishness. "Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof." - Pro 1:17-19. "As he came forth of his mother's womb, Unclad shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand."- Ecc 5:15. "What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." - Rom 7:7

-----
Selflessness enjoined - "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:30-31

"For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." - Rom 13:9

Selfishness is the tree while greed is its fruit. All greedy people are selfish but not all selfish people are greedy. How do I mean? Selfishness means to be self centered not only in material things but in all things that glorifies self (egoism) but greediness only confines itself within the confines of material acquisition- money, cars, houses etc. Some of the branches of selfishness are greed, pride, love of pleasure, argument, talkativeness, gossip, rituals and anything you think a man can do to make himself feel better than others. On this note, I will say selfishness is worse compared to greed. If you do away with selfishness, you have done away with greed but if you do away with greed with selfishness in place is like cutting a branch from a tree, I need not tell you that it has the tendency of growing back and 'better'-worse than before.
