Perhaps until today you conceived the world as a place full of deprivation and scarcity in which the important thing is to achieve the maximum profit in the minimum time.
Perhaps at some point you learned that it is possible to get something for nothing. And that someone will have to lose their share so that you can get yours. That is, when one wins, another loses, since there is not enough for everyone.
There are those who manage to make their dreams come true without apparent difficulty, while others are unable to raise their heads. And all kinds of conflicts arise between them when it comes to improving their position.
This is how things seem to be.
In a world like that -governed by the laws of scarcity, minimum effort and selfishness-, you learned to distrust everything and everyone, because you consider that if you do not have enough it is because someone has taken away what you corresponds…

If that's how you see things, no wonder you're often afraid.
