Human greed comes from the desire to survive.
The desire for comfort and personal gain,
which comes from having a self, gives rise to a person’s greed.
The standard for deciding what is and is not greed is the following:
anything done for oneself is greed,
whereas what is done for the benefit of others is not.
From the position of Truth, anything done selflessly
– when one does not have a self – is not greed,
but all things done when one has a self is greed.
