tbh My biggest sin is Hubris, and if I have money the thing I'll be proudly showing to other people is how good my telescope is at seeing some astronomical object. I'm always tried to soothe it by thinking that hey, at least my hubris makes at least one more person interested in science, it could be worse.

Not a bad way to be. Nothing wrong with having something nice and REALLY nothing wrong with having something nice and sharing it with others.

It's good to get enjoyment out of others enjoying themselves.

Often we find ourselves more privileged than others. In those instances it is our moral obligation to share the benefits of our privilege .

Wanting because you want to out-do someone or something is very different than wanting something so you can make others happy
