It makes sense. I just find that there is too much divide in the world created by greed. You look around at these useless, giant mansions celebrities live in with their families, when at the same time you can travel to a unfortunate part of the world and you’ll find a family two times the size living in a bungalow.
Yet the latter family will seem happier. This is because we are consumers. We want more and more. We can never be grateful with what we have. A good example of this is a book by Ayn Rand called, Atlas Shrugged. The book surrounds the authors belief that “the world is best served when individuals act entirely in their own rational self-interest.” Though, as you can see that society has become selfish. Society as a whole does act in it’s in selfish goals. But I do not see any benefit of this. Too many are suffering alone, depressed and lonely.
