In summary, the conversation discusses whether certain behaviors such as selfishness, jealousy, materialism, lust, and love for money are sinful and immoral. The consensus is that these behaviors are not necessarily sinful or immoral, but rather weak or normal human tendencies. However, it is important to control these desires and ensure that they do not cause harm to oneself or others.

It is not selfish or immoral, but it is weak. To allow any desires or urges to control us, rather than us control them, is weakness. Except lust. Lust is fun. :wink:
