However, when one thinks of that, one thinks of shared belongings, goods, food, and shelter, not about claiming authorship for everything our partner has done before we were even in the picture.

Any form of inheritance symbolically means ‘you belong to this line’, and the father’s intent on forcing the son not to accept what his grandfather is giving to him, to me, reveals the father’s hidden interest in the son remaining his heir (remaining on his family line) and not his grandfather’s. The question is, why does this inheritance spark so much rivalry?

When something goes missing, we tend to think of anyone who’s not family as an intruder.

Just to add insult to injury, some people approach gifts in a 'what I would like to receive' way instead of actually thinking about the other person.
