Simplistic. You neglect greed and lust as primary motivators.
When I say "power over others", I mean the ability to FORCE others to obey your will, whether they want to or not. Simple persuasiveness is influence, not power.
Desire for money is OK, if it is satisfied by producing something of value to exchange for it, but evil if it is satisfied by using physical power to rob or intimidate
Desire for sex is OK, if it is satisfied by persuading the other person to cooperate voluntarily, but evil if you use power to rape or intimidate the other into cooperating
That's why I say "the essense of evil is the lust for power over others" -- it is the decision to satisfy your desires thru the use of force rather than free exchange and cooperation, because you don't want to go thru the effort needed to satisfy your desires thru exchange, persuasion, and cooperation
