If greed is bad, then don't be greedy, if crime is bad then don't do crime. If it is bad for other people then it will be bad for you. And what pleasure is there is doing harm to others, that can be avoided?
We are missing out on the pleasures of life if we hurt people. Would we comfort our tormentor?
The outcome of bad behaviour is that we end up with no friends. We might excuse our selfishness with the thought that it is for the greater good, that if we accomplish our narrow goals, this will eventually be helpful to others. But this is a falsehood and results from failing to see all that there is around us. We are only selfish if we do not see the true, larger picture. If we see everything, we will not put ourselves above the concerns of other people.
To know, is to care.
