Contrary to what some preachers will tell you, desiring money, fame, glory, fun, sex, and authority is not just our 'twenty-fuss' century trend, or a thing of moral bankruptcy, it is human nature, and besides, let me tell you what's good about these six things:
Money equals power unless it is motivated by greed. Nothing beats fame attained in something you're really good at. Glory is considered powerful unless it is vain. A no-fail formula for success is to have fun at what you do. Sex, preferably legit, is not just about procreation or making you and your mood feel good; amongst other benefits, it boosts the immune system and helps maintain a healthy weight; ask Dr. Omar. Last of the six, what's a man without authority in anything? Absolutely nothing!
So, instead of pretending to be too holy for these natural cravings and/or tendencies, being endued with reason in your quenching of your desire for them is what should make you more human than others. But that's just my opinion.
