Nothing Should Be Built on Greed

"We live in a society where everyone takes it for granted that everyone will be greedy, angry and deluded. And the society is actually arranged to take advantage of that. It becomes not only the norm but it's also encouraged. How many times have people complained that if you are content with very little, the economy will collapse. Well, if the economy is built on greed, anger and delusion, maybe it should collapse."

 - Thanissaro Bhikkhu
