Think about the people who have wealth, how they must guard themselves and be skeptical of any who seek to be their friends or lovers, how they are constantly having to doubt if the others are simply there because they are successful, then couple it with the fire that is stoked by media vilifying them, how they receive scrutiny about private things from them, and how history, especially last 100 years, has cannibalized millions upon millions of successful rich people, at the hands of the poor and disgruntled who are easy to turn onto and make the successful as patsy.
sounds great, if being rich is such a hassle, why don't they just give their wealth away to charity ?
If owning cars comes with risks, why use cars?
some carry larger risks than others
So if you're vilified, don't stand up to the slander, the intimidation, cower down and repent, and if your wealth comes with risks, give it away, don't try and safeguard it and be wise about who you chose to befriend. Makes sense, fuck rich people, being poor is more effortless, AND virtuous.
It is true that the hatred of the dispossessed for the possessed is no secret. To sweepingly paint someone rich as evil is a poor testimony to judgement and depth. However, there are rich people who want to bask on the world stages and use the media to see their "good deeds" (charity) called. I would rather no rich person adorns their business with this aspect of "helping the poor" and worse, in the mindset that "the world needs to be improved".
Unfortunately, this "improving the world" is as much encouraged by the common people as it is opposed. And one prefers to turn to the wind that blows at one's back rather than from the front.
Incidentally, the distinction between rich and poor is not so easy to make because I have met enough common people (directly or indirectly through their publications on the media platforms) who want to feel like Angelina Joulie or like Mother Theresa when they go on mission abroad and plead for "schools and education" because they feel so sorry for these poor savages living in huts. So the less rich take an example from the very rich and emulate them. The identification of the average citizen with the wealthy is given in the same way as one rejects that a lot of money is something one wants to have, although one wants to or does live beautifully, generously and luxuriously.
You certainly know the saying "property is an obligation" and if someone sees this as a burden because other people are constantly trying to tell you how to deal with this obligation, this can upset less tough-minded people. One thing is clear: a football match watched by eighty million Germans has 80 million referees. But none of them stands on the pitch and actually has to whistle.
The way I see it, rich or poor, anyone who has hate in his heart or fear is neither a good family man nor a good business man.
