How to district between ambition and greed?

[n8765]

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Ambition is the desire to create and greed is the desire to consume one has no end and the other might just the beginning

Just be careful that your ambition doesn't become a tool for your greed

[n8765]

Ok so how it's called the accumulations of resources , not money.. but in intense way in this case

[n8765]

I feel I sensed your last end sentence in my fast tapping phrase

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Oh sorry! Please let me type this in proper English first.

Ambition is the desire to create and greed is the desire to consume. One has no end and the other might just be the beginning
Just be careful that your ambition doesn't become a tool for your greed.

it has been a long time since I used this site every day. Let me write a version which should translate more easy.

Ambition is the wish to create.
Greed is the wish to take or consume.
Greed has no end.
Ambition can be the beginning of something good.
But be careful — sometimes ambition can become a tool for greed.

I hope that version is easier to understand. Lol is your language Slavic?

Hahh.. yep it is, from where you got this random thought... but no I got you explained enough clearly in the beginning... but the next things was and if you can mix and extract your last phrase that sometimes actions can be one a tool a greed and combine with what if that ambitious is for resources like books tools etc I don't know... then what conclutions you will have about it

[Telekinetic-Potato]

To want things is not wrong
To work towards your goals is noble by itself.

But do you want knowledge to help people or take things away?

A greedy conqueror learns about stone to destroy buildings and make their enemy weak so they might be powerless

An ambitious conqueror learns of stone so they might destroy the home of an evil king and gift others freedom.

Sometimes ambition is just a tool for greed. Old wisdom says to watch ambitious people carefully for this reason

Slavic has a certain sound in English I don't know how to explain it. I have synesthesia so maybe that helps me.

I think during the all this time being online and sharing my words online.. you were the only one who politely asked firstly and after understood my way of writing and from where is coming.. because the urge of people to label it in all this time or using it to disconsider my points or give no credit to the way I talk, was really surprising, as beside yes it's can seem messy doesn't mean hold no value... as it's said in that our places, creative mess... maybe I hold a too big opinion about it but still I'm ok with it somehow but yes I guess I don't understand completely how trigger people ears

[n8765]

I guess it's hard to name the greed in ourself.. and I think just it remains when you full of fear , wounds and insecurities.. and you know. I have this dillemas paradox like... whenever I got an a path, and start to accumulate usually knowledge on a topic because for free and kind of got time for it , a privillegeand soon enough I think, oh maybe by if I dig more and widely, all it will help that person or that. but I don't know what's wrong so in me that's always it to be useful , weird or not used or liked... and yeah I try from my perspective to get the most what that person needs.. but fail.. or doing worse... so I wish I knew how much is my greed and why is like this... anyways maybe I talked too much.. feel free to skip

This is a beautiful way to appreciate a different language from my perspective. I wish I spoke your language, it sounds poetic.

I think I understand what you want to say.

Your ambition is to help people.
Your fear is your failure shows you're greedy

Selflessness and selfishness are two sides of the same coin. They coexist in a loop.

The loop has no hard beginning or end.

I don't know if there is a correct answer to this dilemma but here is what I believe.

Helping others is not a responsibility, it's a privilege which must be respected. Approached carefully, slowly and with empathy and unconditional love.

This can be painful and hard.

But the ambition to be helpful comes from the greed of wanting purpose.

But I believe that all humans are pieces of the same thing. So the greedy desire to find purpose in helping others I find is easier to live with and more effective for other people when I think of them like family.

But also learn that the most helpful thing sometimes is to do nothing. Or at least a step back. Even if it hurts.

A child learns to ride a bike by falling. It's how we grow.

I have a combination of two.. but I didn't embodied them as each person of that one language... But the one which I should call like mother language. Even I speak not so even, but more village way.. that one is how you sense, its melodical... in each punctuation, words forms and sound, and the way it express a human being... It's dare to me because it.. maybe same things is common for each person and their native language... this deepest way to connect with it and help that person to with the rest...

You know the way you understood it part two it's kind.. just for the fact I try to approach this topic in moral way doesn't mean I'm moral.. and well, that's not the most important illusion I could give... The another confusion is like... oh poor me, I just tried to help... I'm doing this also to understand if actually people come across with one paradox pattern.
And that's... a little bit maybe seem deviated from the main question.. and guess it's but it just me to reframe a little bit different to show other case.. not because of I'm special.. but because I really don't know what to do with it... and that's, yeah, I kind of have a moral block to go full mode greedy for something because wall this social norms but also like this permanent thought of karma.. so I choose the half half kind of.. even obviously I with to be so pure and oh selfshlessly to go with ambitious... but nah I can't because yeah even like socially you can fake that, in the end with yourself you know how much that's a performance... so like I choose half half to myself... and not just because of this... and here is the main reason... The paradox problem which hunting me, the most I want to help , that things turns worse.. or like anything else turns worse... So I say to myself.. ok darkness you crave something to yourself.. here you got half half... But like I'm going through a niddle... not sure if I will go through

My father told me when I was young:

It doesn't matter what you were TRYING to say

It matters what people BELIEVE you are trying to say.

If you show up to work and completely fuck everything up, your boss won't say, oh well they were trying to do their job.

They're going to say, well better luck next time, you're fired.

Morality and ambition and greed I don't think it's practical/possible to fully separate these ideas.

You are dealing with a very human issue. I think all good people struggle with these thoughts.

Love yourself enough to believe in your ability to inspire trust and warmth in others.

How can you be mad at yourself for trying your best?

You strain yourself analyzing how next time might be better.

I say there's three layers to a person. The clothes they wear, the skin they own and the soul they are. Your "needle" is making these three things align.

It's very human,

Ambition is wanting to be successful. Greed is never being satisfied and always wanting more.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

[FreyaRed]

Ambition isn't necessarily connected with collecting unnecessary resources, greed is exclusively connected with that.

[Agape93]

Ambition is the drive for a certain goal. Greed is the feeling you are entitled to things you are not.

[RedTiefling]

Ambition is not repulsed by the idea of sharing.
