The problem is that, because of greed, all success is measured in terms of wealth. In a world where literally everything under the sun has a price, what's the point of doing anything without making a profit? That is where the corruption lives, nothing is ever equal.

" A man's virtues are his own, his vices a reflection of his times"

The nature of evil is duality. Life is like two dogs constantly fighting in your chest. Which one will win? Consider which one you feed the most... There's nothing new under the sun; vices are vices from any era.
