Impotence and helplessness before the dictates of fortune

Anxiety out of a sense of insecurity is answered by gratitude for the fulfillment of a requested favor. 
The granting of a favor is a gift. That request for favor comes out of the ancient world’s acute sense of impotence and helplessness before the dictates of fortune. 
When one is out of negotiating room one turns to pleading for favor and for the granting of a wish as a gift.
