true. I see how you can get that.
Didn't figure that myself since for my part I always try to punctuate that sort of thing differently.

e.g.,
In a culture that doesn't employ moral claims, I think there would be no "greed" and "selfishness" as such. These are only human ambition, and wouldn't be labeled otherwise. The concept of greed springs from the creation of moral boundaries.
