I often talk to clients about how the sense of identity of a wild animal 
is its body that is linked to its fight/flight mechanism. Human identity 
is far more. I see a parking space and it immediately becomes "mine" it 
is a part of me and my identity as much as my arm or my leg and when my 
parking spot is under threat I respond with a fight/flight response the 
same as a wild animal, that is not usually very helpful
