Gurcharan Das on his new book The Difficult of Being Good
What is more dangerous — greed or envy?
I think both are bad. But what’s driving the Mahabharata is clearly Duryodhana’s envy. Is there any human being who is without envy? Envy is more elemental. It’s more basic to human beings. We are all flawed. If greed is the sin of capitalism, envy is the sin of socialism. What is driving the socialists is envy, which can be destructive.
