Profit motive

If the principle that your purpose and your purpose in life is to make money; if the principle that the purpose of everything is to make money, that profit is the motive that drives society, that money makes the world go round, is allowed to stand then the result is disaster.

If the profit motive exists anywhere in a society it will always work itself out to its logical conclusion. It will always be in conflict with the life principle.

The profit principle will always try to work itself out to its logical conclusion which is the destruction of life.

Surely there is room for the profit motive? Surely it can be accommodated in a sane society?
I am inclined to say no. Open your eyes and look around.

Is the profit principle not essentially and by defintion in conflict with the life principle?

Everybody wants to work. Everybody does work. Everybody wants to be active.
The idea that some people are inherently lazy and work shy and indolent is a lie.
