Avarice and detachment
And just as perfectionism nurtures the anger that sustains it, we may also say here that the prohibition of needs (not simply from their satisfaction but even from their recognition within the psyche) must contribute to the impoverishment of life that underlies the urge to hold on. It may be pointed out that hoarding implies not just avarice, but a projection of avarice into the future – a protection against being left without. Also the avoidance of commitment can be considered as an expression of not giving.
