From my perspective, the two options you mentioned are both the darkworker path. it is just that one focuses more on material possessions, while the other path focuses more on immaterial possessions such as good feelings for example. either way they both
seem to focus on serving the self.

As for this question... if a i had great empathy for the other person i would likely feel guilty if i took it, so... to avoid that negative feeling of guilt i would let them have it. this would be a self serving action that was based on keeping my immaterial life safe.
Anyway, just thought i would share this new perspective with you hmhmhm.
