Are we greedy?

Question from the Internet:

“Why am I so greedy?”

We are all born with an inherently self-serving, self-justifying, subjective, and individualistic nature. We all try to accumulate and consume everything we can put our hands on — mostly at the expense of others and Nature.

So we are all greedy; some are already aware of this, and some still aren’t.

It is actually very important to become aware of our inherent nature and all the harm and destruction it is causing, both individually and collectively.

And if we have already developed a strong dislike of our inherent nature to such an extent that we have an irrepressible and intolerable desire to change ourselves, then we can start a completely new, conscious, and purposeful development — both individually and collectively.

And even if initially it is only a few people are willing to start to change themselves and start acting and existing above, and against their inherent nature, that is already enough to provide a positive example and pulling force for the rest.
