“It is one thing to overvalue diamonds or undersupply tomatoes and find them scarce. It is quite another thing to treat love and affection and trust and regard as entities in short supply. And yet how many of us do exactly that? How often in our relationships do we act as if the stores of love were limited, and if she gets too much of it there will be too little left for me? Is this not the basis of all human jealousies and envies, this instinct that there are not enough of these spirit-goods to go around?”
