Lack of trust, and even distrust, are grounded in a belief in scarcity—there is not enough and if this persons takes this stuff away I will lack, for ever.

It is then about scarcity or resources, crying or celebrating, clutching or opening the hand.

sufficient.

:- Doug.

The shadows are strongest in the brightest sun.
