There’s a cart and horse issue that often gets confused between wants and desires. When principles are placed before our wants, it is pure, but when wants are placed before principles, then we get “desire”—the negation of creativity. This is why we make the distinction between selfishness, which is essentially greed and lust, and principled selfishness, which is abundance and satisfaction. When principled, our drives never harm another person, and therefore we thrive without it being at the expense of others. This is the difference between an abundant worldview and a zero-sum worldview.
