Loved this comment as well. I often think about the powers of fear and greed when reflecting on how some people behave. I don't necessarily find 'fault' in them for behaving with one of those instincts as their motivation but rationalize it, as you stated, as them believing that they truly perceived that those actions were necessary to survive. I think sometimes accumulating money is something they might put under the "trying to survive" category, even though in my opinion that's not always the case!
How I quickly judge my moral behavior is by reminding myself of the saying "When there is a doubt, there is no doubt." If you don't think you should be doing it, then don't. I think we often try to justify our actions but need to trust our gut and not our ego more often!
