[/quote]Nope the desire to better yourself and the people you care about is good but greed is bad. [/quote] "greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind."- Full quote. Greed does not just mean wealth, it is an excessive or rapacious desire. So you really could be greedy for anything, including the betterment of yourself. You just have to have sufficient desire and frankly I don't believe in doing anything halfheartedly. [/quote] Wouldn't you say that it's our ability to cooperate and transcend greed at times and show compassion that makes us human and the dominant complex species on the planet?
