The infinite versus restricted paradigm

I just realized something very profound
There are two paradigms so fundamental to how people see things that they alter our behavior almost exclusively in opposing trends
Let’s start with the good news
The infinite paradigm is when things seem abundant
When there are jobs for everyone, food for everyone, air and water and homes for everyone, and especially with the children of today growing up in a non-exclusivity to information, so there are no wiser and stupider people, for with google, it neutralizes this as well! hence people are not jealous of one another, as the Rambam speaks of the times of Moshiach, which have begun! in that day, the goodness will be abundant, hence there will be no envy nor wars! (as when the goodness is overflowing there is no jealousy; the perpetrator of all evil!)
On the other hand, how is it that people will God forbid (though it occurs regularly) kill someone for the latest Nike, to steal a phone etc.
This comes when someone grows up in the restricted paradigm
In this paradigm, where there is scarcity, people erroneously think, that there is a pot of gold somewhere (it is clear living in Africa how the government basically fleeces white business, thinking. that one can skim the fat, not realizing that income is generated not stolen!)
