Why do you feel the need for Lego? Isn't it pleasant? Don't you want it? Some
people want a crutch. Is that incorrect? What good is morality, then? Is it not
only your desire to be seen by yourself and others as "good"? Does it matter in
the grand scheme of things?
Personally, it's only incorrect when it doesn't allow further pleasantnesses,
such as understanding, scientific progress, societal well being, survival, etc.
