You hit the nail on the head.
There is so much more wealth to be had for everyone if you remove the selfishness, greed, and hoarding. If everyone is healthy, educated, and free
they create so many wonders and so much prosperity.
On the other hand, if any one of them becomes so selfish and greedy that they must hoard so much wealth that the healthcare, education, food, shelter,
etc. gets taken from them, then those people aren't free to go on to create anything of value. It destroys the total future bounty of the world by
taking from the bounty available today.
In other words, it's actually the want of things which destroys the potential for things to exist.
