yeah you're precisely the kind of pieces of shit i hate in life, you are the antithesis of my life and why i work as hard as possible to reach my own goals and not be an asshole about it when i do.
What, you decided that you can be an asshole now, but once you achieve your goals, you will stop?
I honestly don't understand what you are complaining about.
Your background led to your work ethic and passion about achieving certain goals in your life. You should feel thankful.
Those raised in wealthy families can easily take things for granted, which leads to a terrible, lazy, passionless adult.
You want to make money, but you also want the bourgeois killed. Think about it for a minute. Will you become bourgeois to someone else, once you have achieved your goals? Will your children?
Your hatred and anger just need an excuse. If you were rich, you would hate poor people.
I have seen both sides of the tracks. I have been homeless, as a child, but also had a father driving a large, new mercedes.
I went to school with filthy rich kids, some of whom showed up in limos to school every day. I was bussed in, one of the poorest in the school, without lunch money some days because we couldn't afford it.
Some of the rich kids in my classes were complete assholes, but some were kind, loving, sharing people.
You can't judge a person based on how much money they have.
You sound trapped by your anger, and by ideas of money.
Personally, I gave up the idea that money makes happiness a long time ago.
I can relate to the rich and the poor, as long as the individual has an open mind and a caring heart.
Many, many people don't. Both rich and poor.
I recommend that you give up your anger, and your overly-simplistic categories of rich and poor.
People are far more complex than that. And your anger won't benefit anyone. It hurts you the most.
Peace.
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh
When someone says or does something that makes us angry, we suffer. We tend to say or do something back to make the other suffer, with the hope that we will suffer less. We think, "I want to punish you, I want to make you suffer because you have made me suffer. And when I see you suffer a lot, I will feel better."Many of us are inclined to believe in such a childish practice. The fact is that when you make the other suffer, he will try to find relief by making you suffer more. The result is an escalation of suffering on both sides both of you need compassion and help. Neither of you needs punishment.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
The Dalai Lama offers wisdom about anger:
1. Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities; an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.
2. If we live our lives continually motivated by anger and hatred, even our physical health deteriorates.
3. Anger or hatred is like a fisherman’s hook. It is very important for us to ensure that we are not caught by it.
4. We have a saying in Tibet: “If you lose your temper and get angry, bite your knuckles.” This means that if you lose your temper, do not show it to others. Rather, say to yourself, “Leave it.”
5. According to Buddhist psychology, most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities. The pursuit of the objects of our desire and attachment involves the use of aggression and competitiveness. . . These mental processes easily translate into actions, breeding belligerence.
Such processes have been going on in the human mind since time immemorial, but their execution has become more effective under modern conditions. What can we do to control and regulate these “poisons”–delusion, greed and aggression? For it is these poisons that are behind almost every trouble in the world.
5. Hatred can be the greatest stumbling block to the development of compassion and happiness. If you learn to develop patience and tolerance towards your enemies, then everything becomes much easier–your compassion towards all others begins to flow naturally.
6. Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger. Nobody can say, “Today I am happy because this morning I was angry.” On the contrary, people feel uneasy and sad and say, “Today I am not very happy, because I lost my temper this morning.”
