And why am I not interested one bit in power or fame? It would be nice to have a bunch of money to give away, but that has problems also. I'd rather have access to a library filled with all the books that I'd want to read than to be famous or have a huge amount of power. Why do some people want that stuff anyway? Does it have to do with personality traits?

Because putting someone in a pool and deleting the ladder is fun.
Oh, wait, was that not the kind of power we were talking about?

As long as I have enough for bread and the internet I'm set..."Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ." - That Guy Everyone Quotes

I do not know the name of the specific pathology, but it is wide spread amongst fallen human beings. So it is still sin however you classify it.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
