As I reflect on goals achieved, those perpetually being set, and the length of time that it seems to achieve them coupled with frustrations at the various delays – some reasonable and some not so much – I have to wonder to what extent are these two things so different?
They are clearly different when compared to a person’s reality or status quo. They are both forward looking. To what extent though does one lead irreconcilably to the other; or if reconcilable, to what extent, and specifically, how?
Is ambition without greed “settling”, and what makes greed bad inherently? There is clearly “bad” greed, but is all greed bad? Id “obsession” “good” greed? Obsessions can be bad, but many good things have come from obsession, which is also known as “persistence”.
Is ambition deemed good to the extent that it is ultimately bridled by finite resources and time, or energy? In other words, do these tire or become exhausted before arriving on the precipice of greed?
INENARRABLE 
I think how much you give back creates the distinction between greed and ambition. I don’t know anyone who is generous and greedy at the same time. I have observed people who are ambitious and generous at the same time.
To whom much is given much is owed !
