Don't fall into the trap of holding a wealthy
person’s wealth against them. They are a product of their environment
just like the rest of us. There's always going to be somebody richer than
you. You can bitch about the guy in Southbeach that can buy a new Rolls
Royce for every week of the year, but he bitches about the guy who can afford a
150 foot yacht, and there is a guy in Alabama living in a shack without
electricity right now who thinks you've got the easy life, yourself, and
there's a kid starving to death in Ethiopia who thinks that guy in Alabama is
living the damn good life.
You can
spend your life hating and being envious of those that you see as being born
with a silver spoon in their mouth, or you can work to make yourself a better
person, and to hell with what everyone
else has or does.
Life
isn't fair. I was born with a crippling autoimmune disease, and my
brother wasn't. That sucks. I'm not fighting in the government to
make it illegal for anyone to not have autoimmune diseases because it isn't
fair to us that have them. That would be ridiculous, in no small part
because there is a guy out there with stage IV cancer and three weeks to live
looking at me bitching about my autoimmune disease and saying "bitch,
please!" So why is it not seen as
ridiculous when people lobby the government to punish people that are richer
than they are? Because it
ridiculous. As ridiculous as me lobbying
to infect everyone with autoimmune disease so that I’m not at a disadvantage.
So don't
fall into the envy trap. It doesn't do you any good, and it's just silly
as shit.
