Psychological dimension

Our current materialistic society generates some mirages that make us believe that only if we get them, we will be happy.

First, an uncontrollable, urgent and addictive eagerness to achieve more will lead us to "do whatever it takes to have more" and we will be able to break with essential ethical values such as integrity, honesty, generosity or altruism.

ECONOMICAL DIMENSION

Vanity is seen as an ambition that excessively fills gyms and sometimes leads people to extrapolate, submitting to the most different techniques of body modifications.

My point of view/conclusion

Ambition for me has two points of view the bad that is when we want more and more of everything we have and we do not think about other people or the damage we may be doing. We are people who do not conform to what we have

Ambition is good, as long as it is not excessive and without limits.
