Mainly, because such qualities are not similar, beyond the focused energy that has different forms,mechanistic versus contemplative, and ends, tangible versus intangible. The composite motivating values of immediate gratification for the mechanistic and tangible versus the gratification for 'doing-the-effort-for its-own-satisfaction' are divergent intentions of consumption for the former and discovery for the latter.
While the mechanistic-tangible gratification needs the material trappings for its justification, the contemplative-intangible has perceived that Time provides the long-term equity of justification that can be stoically accepted-another contrast. So contrasting, since those of mechanistic and tangible gratification are primarily self-oriented and centered, which differs from the contemplative and intangible satisfaction of people who see themselves as a component part of an enveloping network of continuity of which they are the consequential legacy of the phenomena of progenitor functions.
Being the default offspring heirs of a logical historical algorithm, their mechanics of kinetics is establishing the means for the prospective production than being the narrowed and focused, selective beneficiaries of a phenomenal opportunity. Holistic and wave-like is the identity of the intangibly contemplative, rather than granular and exceptionally privileged for a prerogative attitude for the tangibly mechanistic.
As the 'contemplative' eschews the rewards and trappings of mechanistic consumption their "egoism" is more an inherent counter-narrative contrast with the consumptive kineticist of material mechanisms in contentious comparisons. That 'egoism' is an estrangement and an alienating of themselves from the matrix of emotional dramas that are taken as rites-of-passage by the kinetically material mechanistic. It IS a cultural milieu of personality fault-lines with different personal and historical consequences.
I would assert that the present historical circumstances and pathologies are from the egoism of kinetic, tangible, mechanics for consumption, derived from the psychological detachment of human civilization from the feral natural order for the sake of the conveniences of comfort. In the course of cultural evolution it was an understandable concept to have and seek more stable security for themselves.
That intention was taken to an extreme ethos of negating and annihilating any competition and threats to that 'more stable security'. By doing so the inevitable present dystopian conditions of ubiquitous 'absolute security' that accepts the detriment of others as a tolerable result for having a 'more stable security', micro-socially or macro-politically has emerged.
Contrasting to this, the threads of thought for contemplative intangibles has reached the formation of the way our existence is MORE THAN in this present dimension, plus how other dimensions can do intervention al visitation into our carnal conscious dimension.
In short, we are a point on a wave that is a spherical reception for innumerable portals of conscious, unconscious, and subconscious data. This makes us the proverbial die that Einstein argued against in his maxim, 'God does not throw die in ordering the universe!'. In fact, we have the capability of reordering what is manifested and what can be manifested 'on Earth, as in the Heavens of our conceptualization..'.
