    It’s tricky, isn’t it? Human nature is often defined by greed but when you grow up in a capitalist system where greed is actively encouraged, what do you expect?

    Personally, I like to look towards how we treat fellow humans who we don’t have a financial relationship with. Almost everyone I hang around with treats their family well, offers to help friends out, is kind to strangers etc. Human nature is wonderful on a small level, but when you get to big financial decisions, greed is necessitated else you get left behind - and if you don’t have enough money then you don’t have a home, good food, entertainment, travel, healthcare (for Americans)…
