Unless you put in the bank first, you cannot withdraw. This is more so in human relationships. Overdrafts are rarely allowed in human relationships. In human relationships, there are no one-way streets also. This is understood very well by every adult – although a child may not understand and conform to such adult norms.
A child is usually very selfish – and greedy. The child takes everything from the parents (society) without contributing anything to the society and the society readily grants whatever the child wants. But the society scorns at the grownups when they indulge in a child-like behavior - prompted by greed and selfishness.
Greedy persons try to take everything they can get freely from others. They do not mind what others think of them; greed makes them immune to shame. I know one woman who took away all the jewelry of her mother (when mother passed away suddenly), which she should have shared equally with her sibling. She also had hidden all the legal papers relating to the family property when the father died a few years later– and quietly took a power of Attorney from the sibling ostensibly with honest intentions, but actually she had no real intention of sharing the family property also (such as house sites, stocks, buildings) with the other lawful claimant. All property disputes between children when the parents are gone are of this nature only. This is what Duryodhana did to the Paandavas.
The next thought is about “You were programmed as a child”
