    Their unhappy is not you and I’s unhappy. Not even close. They don’t know suffering. Their worst days would be nothing more than mild annoyances to us. They lack perspective, sure, but don’t ever think they’re miserable. They don’t know the meaning of the word.

      Whatever you have to tell yourself as you chase the dream. Can’t buy your way out of being a human creature. There’s lots of history that shows all the money in the world can’t stop some folks from being miserable, angry fucks.

        There’s lots of history

        All that history is nothing but fairy tales to make unsuccessful people feel alright for not being absolute sociopaths. None of it is real. Those who have more than ~$5 million net worth are incapable of feeling misery in the same sense that you and I feel. They are insulated from those concerns and will never feel the depths of despair that the common man does. To pretend otherwise is sheer ignorance, even if coming out of place of vain optimism that we’re all somehow equal.
