Men hate the individual whom they call avaricious only because nothing can be gained from him.

Summary

This quote suggests that people often dislike or despise individuals who they consider to be greedy or obsessed with accumulating wealth. However, this disdain stems not from moral reasoning but rather from the fact that they cannot benefit or gain anything from this person. In other words, people's hostility towards someone they label as "avaricious" is driven by self-interest rather than a genuine moral stance against greed.
