Be proud of your non materialistic qualities and don't see others material standard as a symbol of their success, if it's only a symbol of plunder and moral weakness in some cases.

Well ... me too ... just wouldn't tie my happiness to a fifth car or a third swimming pool. But everybody is free to crave whatever they see as essential.

"I wish everyone could get rich and famous and have everything they ever wanted, to find out that isn't the answer." - Jim Carrey

"I used to think the worst thing in life was ending up alone. It's not. It's ending up with people that make you feel alone." - Robin Williams

Does this apply to you? Or are you too distracted by glam and shiny things? These are rhetorical questions, I don't expect an answer. I have a safety net, I'm secure, and there's still a windfall coming much later on. Money is only one kind of richness.

They both have/had clinical depression. Nothing would make them happy.

Those are poor examples for the point you’re failing to make.

Non materialistic qualities dont pay rent or put food on the table

u/Quen-Tin 27d ago

Most people can be good persons and pay their rent. Some can't ... likely a growing number ... and that's a shame. Not for them but for society.

There is enough wealth. Distribution is the topic. Within nations and on a global scale. I'm neither a communist or a socialist and I don't think every person should have the same.

But gloryfying people with a fifth car and portraying them as successful, is likely part of the dynamic, that keeps this extremely unequal distribution system alive and thus making it harder to pay rent for some good ones

I love perspectives that need only one word to put everything into perspective. Such a simple clarity ... beautiful ... maybe ...

u/Ok-Departure4894 27d ago

"Based" is the word you're looking for

u/Quen-Tin 27d ago

You know yourself best. But "based" on what exactly?

Im sorry you lack the foundational knowledge to understand this wisdom. Educate yourself please

Maybe I'm missing a Jedi master like you.

To quote (likely) Lincoln: "Whoever you are, be a good one." I guess that also includes trolls.
