If you were just taking it, putting it on a shelf, or just showing people it and not really using it, if I just owned all these movies and never watched them again and just stacked them up, that's different. But I think the idea of that it's not a lack of control, that maybe grabbing these immediate rewards sometimes is more...

Would it, though, in the marshmallow situation? Because the marshmallow definitely would in the Halloween candy one. Yes. That person did not learn any empathy. It's like they wanted to inflict what they felt on the first three houses to everyone else.

I think... In like the Halloween example, or like you were saying, what are the tools that you use to try to, if you feel like you're getting greedy, is try to see what's really going on. Like when I really, really, really want something, a lot of times it's because it's just, it's like heightened attention. Yeah. Like someone has pointed it out. Like I'm never hungrier.
