Okay, this is also the case for varying reasons including mimetic behaviour of humans.

The mimetic theory says we get our desires from society. We want it because others have it. That creates a form of scarcity and invariably chaos.

Scarcity is the way human interpret value.

If it's scarce, it must be valuable. Forgetting or not noting that it is only scare because we all want the same thing.

But it's what keeps the economic wheel rolling so there's no ending.

Success at one thing creates that illusion of scarcity as well. Suddenly, everyone wants YOUR success or wants to be associated with YOUR success if they've concluded they can't have YOUR success.

That behaviour ordinarily opens the door to you for the next success.

That's so because those coming after you and that you allow as well have a form of success in them that can be easily leveraged for your next success.

They will willingly give it because remember they want to be associated with you or want your success just as you theirs.

Like I said, it keeps the wheel rolling so you can't undo it.

Understanding it though is a leverage.
