What if avarice (greed) were a good thing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Etymology of avarice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aveo<\/a>: To desire, to crave, to long for, to enjoy, to consume. Similar to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153avati<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00e2\u20ac\u201d to drive, impel, promote, favor, satisfy, be pleased, like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avarice (greed)\u00e2\u20ac\u201d perhaps this innate human instinct is good for us. Greed propels is forward and impels is to activity!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A life in which we were totally satisfied \u00e2\u20ac\u201d certainly we would no longer have any drive to do anything anymore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus a working thesis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
