When comparing Unbounded hope-#28, greed-based on an individual’s aspirations for immediate personal control of pleasure, to unbounded hope-#27, based on an individual’s potentially kind social instincts for overall well-being of the self and the social group within which their being is immersed, it appears that the timing of the personal control is the issue between the two approaches to life.
It is a contest between an individual maximizing the power of control in the moment to achieve a quick success versus one using the power available in the now to seek a long-term dynamic stability and the good health of and for a living dynamic group. For the #28 greedy individual there is no long-term success if there isn’t success in the short term and those who strive for immediate success are more likely to achieve it than those aiming for long-term stability. Greed, even outright theft, works in the short run most of the time, but that kind of behavior sets the individual up to be ostracized from the seekers of a more overall group cohesion. And, in a legal system organized by the seekers of long-term security, the people living by excess greed and theft will be prosecuted. They will be the losers in the long run because they will not have as much access to the benefits of a stable society.
If we consistently don’t succeed in the short run we wither and die, but if we are too greedy in the short run we tend to fall into isolation and eventual despair and wither and die. The individual who associates well with type #27 kindly people will more often prosper and thrive emotionally than type #28 greedy people who are totally self-centered. And, in both styles, suggestion #27-2 and #28-2 is functional because being accepted into different isolated living places gives that person or the group an alternate place to thrive when things fail where they are presently located. That happens more often with #28 greedy people, so it is more important for them to have alternate residences.
As individuals, we must succeed in the living moment, but as a society, we must succeed in the forever oncoming tomorrows.
