Property is not a pursuit for its own sake

Although property is natural to humans, making it a primary purpose in one’s life (meaning giving it primacy over other purposes that are possible) is a choice within the domain of morality (see §05.00.11) that is made possible by the state. Ownership, the accumulation of wealth, is one purpose among many that certain humans choose to set for themselves if afforded to them by their states. Propelled by the constant need of humans to augment their information processing, this pursuit may never end for the humans concerned. The same (or at least similar) is true for organisations, depending on their (human-set) purpose.
