Yeah. Ambition, the drive to make the most out of yourself, whatever that is (doesn't necessarily have to be about money) is obviously a good thing.

Greed, to me, conjures up someone who is only out to make as much money as he possibly can and will attempt to destroy anything or anyone that gets in his way with little regard for the world around him.

I agree greed is a negative. Because of the reasons you mentioned. But, it isn't just about money. Many on the Left are greedy for political power and greedy for control over the masses. I think greed can be for anything in a negative way not just money.

I think a great thing is ambition and work ethic.
