And "profit" means creating more good in the world than what is consumed. Interesting that your own definitions here are so childlike in naivety and lack of nuance. The idea that "profit" means "creating good" is laughable and if you don't understand why, asking "Who/how many is it good for" and weighing that good against the lives lost and the destruction caused would be a good place to start. History is filled with examples where massive profits were taken, but the cost to everyone not stuffing their pockets with cash was far greater, creating situations where "what was consumed" was far more valuable than making people who were already obscenely wealthy even richer. Profit can be good, depending on the cost and what that profit is then put toward. The opportunity for profit drives progress. The seeking of profit at the expense of all else has also caused terrible harms, and has been used to justify some of humanity's worst and most shameful acts.
