I think what you are asking is, if I always do "good things" with the intention of getting a good life wont that be accounted for "greed", right?But the issue here is according to Buddhism the ULTIMATE GOAL is NOT a good life.. ultimate goal is to break away from it!So again here comes "Chethana", if you do good deeds with the intention of living a good life and ultimately use that to achieve Nirvana, that cannot be accounted for greed, because GREED is not the motivation here.. its getting rid of the cycle!But if you do good deeds saying, if I do this in the next life time I'll be damn rich!NOW THAT'S GREED, and that's what most people today unfortunately expects too! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
