When a person first becomes free to operate the controls in life solo, they are faced with the question "Why (anything)?" In other words, can their action--and continued action--be justified? They decide then and there how much hope exists in the world and if becoming successful in others' eyes is worth the effort on their part.
Most often this crux is guided by parents, family, and friends with shared experiences of expectation. It takes investment to build confidence; it requires patience, tolerance, and forgiveness to build hope.
The difference between EGAD and NGAD is earned through love, one person at a time. If we "give a damn" about others then there can be hope for ourselves. Without compassion in the world all is lost. On an individual basis it is as simple as determining who should bite the hand that feeds us: everyone or no one.
