I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that's not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.

I'd say it's this entirely. Honest people don't seek money, but if they see their peers getting grapes instead of cucumbers for literally no just cause, then that injustice cannot go unanswered unless they get their grapes too.
