Avarice

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!
