I read an article in Forbes about states which are in an economic "death spiral." It reminded me of why so many marriages and friendships are ruined. Call it Physics, call it Economics, Newton's 3rd Law, affairs of the heart; everything answers to the same laws of the universe; it's all the same!
We each have an emotional "bank account" and when two people are in a mutual relationship, they make "deposits" in each other's "account." When one begins to make less frequent deposits in their partner's account while the other person continues making regular deposits, one ends up with a depleted account. "Overdraft" notices are sent out, but go completely unresolved. Eventually the one left with the empty account feels they have no option but to file for bankruptcy/divorce/emotionally disengage/move on/etc...
Selfishness ruins many things; friendships, marriages, economics, states, countries, etc...
