[Man Against Time]

That does not lead to the actual "improvement" of anything. Who is a good man in a society that is only driven by greed? Obviously, the most ambitious, the most willing to level everything in his path to "improve." But what improves? I have no trouble seeing why someone so vulgar and crude and blind would believe a constant agitation and mania for attainment is a good thing, but I fail to see how you can try and apply this to man. My neighbor wanting to be the "best" guy in the neighborhood at everything and willing to do anything to achieve that rank is... dangerous, stupid, and unhealthy, even for him. We have the fastest runners, the smartest teachers, the most able leaders, and the bravest warriors when society has relatively little greed, because there are no cut-throat envious and agitated children trying to throw down the fast or the intelligent or the capable or the brave by any means necessary.

BINGO! This is greed. Saying "the world should be communist" or "I wish everyone would hold hands and be nice" is a form of greed.

Perhaps, but I am by no means just trying to impose my own subjective opinion on everything merely becasue it is my own opinion. If you try and trace a Communists, or a hippie's, or any other sentimental invalid's opinion back to anything concrete, you will find it always only rests in their own sentiment. I am arguing from an entirely different, entirely objective perspective. I am not saying, "Do this because I say so."
