True idealists hardly fall for the temptation of greed since ideals are the most powerful and addictive drug one can be influenced by. Those who fall for such temptation have fallen before they rose. They were either dreaming of being idealists without realizing what ideals are, or wearing the coat of idealism which they recognized as a practical guise to fulfill their ambitions. Not all great ambitions have connections with greed for money and power, although many of them require money or power for fulfillment. A true beneficial idealist is the one who is capable of distinguishing what money and power he needs as tools for accomplishing ideals instead of viewing them as weapons for keeping himself seated in the throne with others crawling beneath him.
