The wound of inadequacy can even be a detriment to the community at large. Think of all the kings and wars throughout history—all fighting to please the desire for more.

Unchecked desire is cancer—death by overconsumption, overpopulation, over pollution, extreme excess until the point of its own self-destruction.
