[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people don't have the tenacity or the skills to do anything hard in life. This is why we need lower level jobs and smaller living spaces. Its also OK to be this type of person and live your life with your family. People do this all over the world and then they take care of their parents in old age. [/quote]

OMG, you're so close... and yet...

The rest of the world lives this way because it's actually functional. Whatever BS you bought into about how only people at the top of the heap of exhausted human bodies are "successful" is a disease. Condescendingly referring to the things that make your life what it is as "lower level jobs" is more indicative of your mental disorder than actual social dysfunction. I bet you push for "smaller living spaces" because you don't want to pay those "lower level" workers a living wage, right?

Gross. Greedy and gross, and grossly overestimating your own actual worth as a human. You are more than a bank account. Sorry nobody loved you enough to tell you that.[/quote]

Thank you. I truly believe this person's world view is a huge part of what's wrong with this world. Worth is inherent and doesn't come from what you do. Believing your worth comes from money and success causes you anxiety because you always have to have more and allows you to "other" people, which is toxic.[/quote]

Lol. Who said anything about them being less worth? Look in the mirror as to why your thoughts went that way. No one needs to support others just because they aren't as skilled. In fact it would diminish their worth as an adult to do so and as you said money does not define worth so money and living spaces don't define worth. They simply define what people can afford. People who have less motivation and skills can make less money and live in smaller spaces and still have worth as a human. You said it yourself. [/quote]

Define "skills". Because the people you think have "less motivation and skills" probably just have less manipulative tendencies and greed. I know plenty of "skilled professionals" who can't make a simple meal for themselves, or keep a calendar, or carry on a conversation that isn't about their job. Being "skilled" at something that makes you money doesn't make you a well-rounded person. This whole thread is about people who aren't motivated to become that sort of person and how it's a problem. It's not. It's a value judgment by the OP, and badly flawed logic.[/quote]

Yes, I'm 6:33 and the reason I didn't like 6:46's response is because it agreed with the thread's premise that there's a problem that needs solving. 6:46 wanted to solve that problem with "lower level jobs and smaller living spaces" which to somebody bothering to call out those "solutions," they are likely seen as a consolation prize. It's so deeply believed by people with money and success because it's not called out enough.[/quote]
