To Leticia,

1. "Vexation comes from greed, wrath, and addiction."

2.If your readers are general folks, do not use the words which are to sophisticated or even lingoes.

To Chung,

what fret our hearts are greedy. dissatisfied and captivated.

1. There are several grammatical errors here.

"...are greed, dissatisfaction, and captivation."

2. There is misunderstanding, too.

anger, fury...rather than dissatisfaction.

To Angel:

People have vexation, all because of greedy, silly and angry.

1. It is "word for word" translation, and it is not correct grammatically.

2. It will sound better, if it is translated into:
a. "Vexation flows (comes) from greed, anger and addiction."

b. "The reasons why people feel vexed is all because of greed, anger and addiction."
