My larger point would be that we're active participants here. If greed ruins the world, we let it. I like to think that we're more powerful than that. Greed won't ruin my family and I know there's other good families around us. In short, I won't let Greed ruin my world, and my world is part of The World, so greed can't ruin the whole thing.

I don't like blaming anything for anything. I am in this world. We are the world. Blame yourself for anything in it. If something bothers you about it, do something, exert your will to change it or destroy it or assimilate it. Famine? Greed? Crime? Hate? It's all our faults and its all within our power to influence. I could just never allow myself to feel so helpless as to empower the world to have character or action without my approval and participation.
