I don't subscribe to the idea that greed and selfishness is bad because everyone is greedy and selfish, we only hate those things in other people, not ourselves.

Who doesn't want the very best for themselves, their families and sometimes near and dear friends? We are all "greedy" for the best, if not for here and now then for somewhere after this place of existence. And why shouldn't we want the best? The very best! Those that created us have it all, the very very very best of everything, and we, their offspring, deserve no less!!!

We run into problems down here on earth because many of us don't want others to have the best if we ourselves don't think we have it. We call such people greedy and selfish. Makes us hate them, envy them, and throw tantrums about them, that's where most people fall short, and lose out or postpone receiving the best the universe has to offer.
