  • The problem with having this much money is the power that it brings. A life of modesty brings you way closer to god than anything else. Billionaires are sometimes praised but poor who dare use tricks to gain wealth are called sinners and immoral people. We’re stuck playing a game with rules that are different for everyone.

    Because that too could happen to me.

    Temporarily embarrassed millionaire :/

    If you think having more money than 99% of the people that have ever existed on earth is not greed… not even god could save you.

    You could give out 99% of that money and live a lavish life.

    If greed is subjective then sins are subjective. Therefore not paying back your debts is subjective. There’s no objective meaning to anything, it seems.


  • Following this logic you don’t work very hard.

    The one who works hard is the worker you depend on. That worker can go work elsewhere, but you need him. Pay him his worth, because he’s literally the support pillar. I’m sure you know what happens when there’s no support pillar.

    It’s not because you tell people what to do that you work harder. Those people could have done it themselves, but they didn’t have the money to start something as big as amazon. It’s all about how much money you have to invest, not hard work.

    Some billionares do work hard because they happened across a smart idea and they were able to make it flourish.

    Smart ideas with money to invest = hard worker

    Smart ideas but poor = ???
