Lust

It's mostly associated with sex, isn't it.  Money means the same thing to both rich and poor, they can never get enough!  But the Bible is very clear that "the lust of the spirit" is the cause of our downfall.  Lusting after sex, money, power, sloth, people, things, and ideologies.  These are the things that pull us away from God.  You see, if you put your own ideals in our agape love towards God, then it transforms into lust after things. 

The whole purpose of life on Earth is to teach us that "lust after stuff is temporarily rewarding", but agape love towards God means "internal peace forever", never having to worry because you know that God has your back!!!  Unpleasant things may happen but with a belief in God, all things correct themselves.  . . . But we must choose God.

Self-Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us the difference between lust and "Agape Love".
