and it is a trauma thing.
it is deeply ingrained about the hierarchy of being and about there not being enough resources for everyone to have genuine need met. and the only way people could cope was to deny that needs were genuine.
so it is mind-blowing...
for people to learn that there is no shortage of resources for everyone to have genuine need met. it is just problems of distribution.
that can't be true -- because so many people have been deprived of so much.
the deprivation and denial and negation has become so deeply ingrained.
gratitude for scraps (because if you don't express sufficient gratitude then they will only treat you worse / withhold more of what you need).
it's been so ingrained it persists right through to the very very highest levels of maaori leadership.
maybe new zealand leadership, too.
hmm.
