Summary

This quote suggests that even if one engages in acts of greed with good intentions or for a noble cause, it does not negate the inherent negative nature of greed itself. It highlights the notion that regardless of the motivation behind it, an individual's desire for more or excessive acquisition remains a self-centered and morally ambiguous quality. Ultimately, it serves as a reminder to scrutinize the underlying motivations of our actions, emphasizing that good intentions may not justify the means when greed is involved.
