[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose the thing is that we are all basically wage slaves, dependent on our jobs, and confined by the things we must do to keep our jobs, even if they're crappy and unfulfilling.  We must also force our children to become wage slaves -- majoring in something boring to pay the bills, etc.

And then you hear about someone who has a "fun job", running a museum or being a nanny and who is not a wage slave, who is able to live in a great neighborhood and take fun vacations and who essentially is not bound by the rules that tie the rest of us to society.  And it's really as though half of us have to cope with gravity and the other half don't.  It's hard not to look at that wondrous life and think how different your own life would have been if you didn't need to worry about grades, or a major or health insurance or earning a living.  Sometimes it seems like none of the rulesl apply to these special people.  My daughter keeps telling me about a boy she knows who has gotten DWI's, and gotten thrown out of his first job, and where the family has enough money even then to shield him from the consequences.  They got him another job, got him an Uber to take him there, etc.  I recently read a novel by a woman who had apparently never worked, just travelled around taking painting classes, etc.  It's kind of like they're not even human in the same way that the rest of us are.

Why would you pick the thing you don't like to define who is human?[/quote]

All the human stuff happens no matter how much money you have. Sickness, health, joy and despair, etc etc. [/quote]

Why it’s cringe to see the strivers of this forum envious of richer people, whether inherited or not. When you look at someone with more material things than you, you don’t know what goes on in their life — what illnesses they’ve dealt with, family problems, loss of loved ones etc. Growing up I knew a kid who was from a notable family worth hundreds of millions. Nice right? He also didn’t have working legs and was in a wheel chair since birth. Some sad idiot on here would still probably rag on him for “having it easy” because of “mommy and daddy” as they say, completely ignoring the other hardships he’s gone through. This is a digression, but it underscores why these nasty DCUM’ers should stop focusing on material stuff, mind their own business, and let the universe or God judge others. [/quote]

This forum is a constant swirling storm of insecurity and fear.  I just read it with that caveat in mind.  It feels like we are transitioning into a resource-scarce society and people feel their middle class children are going to live like feudal serfs while their rich friends live the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

If it bothers you that much, people, vote accordingly!!  [/quote]
