Bhagavad Gita 1.38
Arjuna speaking to Krishna
यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः। कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम् ॥
yady apy ete na paśhyanti lobhopahata-chetasaḥ kula-kṣhaya-kṛitaṁ doṣhaṁ mitra-drohe cha pātakam

In plain words: Arjuna says that the other side is blinded by greed. They do not see anything wrong in destroying a family or turning against friends.
