we want more (than our fair share) [i]
by al iving thing

a simple psych-dynamic (maybe more than we can bare?)
at times (a bit titanic): we want more than our fair share

·       in regard to behaviors… overeating, overdrinking, over-anything-ing… can be directly traced back to survival/thrival.

·       when living things perceive limited resources (water, security, sexual opportunity, food [e.g. sugars], territory, etc.) we tend to stockpile those resources – which could be perceived as wanting more than our fair share.
 
living things cannot not all-ways perceive that there are limited resources.
 
for example: if you didn’t “want more,” there would be no reason to breathe.
