I like your list. I could add to it but that wasn't my question. "To fully develop as a human." A materialist who sees others only as a utilitarian might see himself fully developing as a human being and find evidence for it by the degree of success he is having economically and by the related prestige given to him by others. "To achieve peace of mind. To experience love." Some one can be full of avarice and wake up feeling quite satisfied on Saturday morning. "To be of value to one's family and community. A pile of wealth can give one this feeling. Ahh "Because, like Everest, it is there..." To seek righteousness for righteousness sake. But why? That was my question. I think values, principles, love, and peace stem from this. This implies purpose beyond materialism or as opposed to it. But why? Are you saying one is necessarily better than the other, and if so why? I have no intentions of climbing Everest even if it is there.
