I am of the opinion that your longing to hsve more is to satisfy desires that comes with having .
If you desire to have little so that you do give out , then you are regarded as selfish, for example, you have known so much about steemit because you teach people what you know, and as questions are asked, you go to make research , the hunger to know more is to give more and you get rewarded as a genuis or a noble selfless teacher who wants to give all he knows. That is your royal self showing off.
