Many people say “everyone is greedy” as if it’s just a fact.

Does saying everyone is greedy hide something?

But that statement often hides something. It quietly removes responsibility from the people with the most power.

How does it remove responsibility from the powerful?

Because if everyone is greedy, then no one has to examine how much they take, how they make decisions, or how their choices affect others. It levels everything. But reality is not level.

Is wanting a safe life the same as holding great power?

There’s a difference between:

1. someone trying to provide for their family, feel safe, or enjoy life

2. and someone making decisions that impact thousands or millions of people

When those two get described the same way, something important gets blurred. It turns power into something invisible. And once power is invisible, responsibility becomes optional. So the idea that “everyone is greedy” can become a quiet justification:

Not by saying “this is good,” but by saying “this is normal.” And when something harmful gets labeled as normal, it stops being questioned.

“Everyone has desires. Not everyone has the same level of power”
