“Yes, greed is the worst vice. To escape its grip one must cultivate that self-control which is the scaffolding of every virtue. With self-control come patience, moderation, gentleness and generosity. Some people might take self-control for weakness but it is really tolerance, openness to all experience, a non-judgmental acceptance of all that life may send our way. A person does not need a forest ashram if they can exercise such self-control while engaged fully in the daily round.”
