Employee brings cookies in for their coworkers, boss sells them instead, employee quits: '[He] decided to sell my gift to my coworkers for a profit'

Most people in this world fall into two camps: Those out to make things better for everyone and those in it for their own gain and to meet their own ends. 

Sure, this concept sounds quite reductive (it is), and the reality is things aren't quite so black and white… It's more than likely people will play to both sides depending on their current needs and motivations. Still, ultimately, I maintain that if you distilled people down to their true purpose and intention, you'd find the original statement to be true. 

This is the same reason why when you see someone flying up an open lane to dodge traffic—only to try and cut in at the last minute, you can't help but feel your gears grinding… They're taking advantage of a situation to get ahead while everyone else is suffering for order and the "greater good" (the greater good)—thinking they're clever all the while for their sheer willingness to go places others won't.
