My work which I love to do and which I love to get paid to do is more important than surfing. Does that satisfy you? Probably not, but then again you apparently think that the profit motive is the entire basis for why most people engage in business. Only good people like you engage in business for higher purposes. Most other people like me are greedy bloodsuckers who only want to make money and have completely disassociated the profit motive from the idea of finding something that they love to do and then wanting to get paid to do it.

There you go again...making an ideology about it. You are trying to make it black and white instead of trying to get the point.

Lets say you have a drug company and some products come out tainted.

Do you follow the above A) example, or the above B) example.

Here is a hint, in running a business if you do things to hurt the people you sell to or make you rich and sucessful, its a bad move.

I know a guy who owns a strip club. In reality he is in it for the same 'higher purpose' too.

Its kind of weird, but his product is to provide an enjoyable place for the boys to get together and have fun.

Its "noble" in a weird kind of way, but its the same principle none the less.
