Why are people willing to do anything to acquire wealth but can't take it with them to the grave?

Question

Im appalled at how willing people will go to steal, kill and destroy their fellow man just to get ahead in life. When the at anytime our lives can come to a screeching halt. Do people not believe that they have a soul. Is aquiring wealth at any cost worth it?
