What if avarice (greed) were a good thing?
Etymology of avarice
Aveo: To desire, to crave, to long for, to enjoy, to consume. Similar to “avati”— to drive, impel, promote, favor, satisfy, be pleased, like.
My thought:
Avarice (greed)— perhaps this innate human instinct is good for us. Greed propels is forward and impels is to activity!
A life in which we were totally satisfied — certainly we would no longer have any drive to do anything anymore?
Thus a working thesis:
Perhaps avarice, greed, and desiring more is the source of our energy, our motivation, and a positive force we can harness for our personal growth and thriving!
