“Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.”
― G.K. Chesterton, A Miscellany of Men
I do not have anything against wealth and being paid a fair wage for your value. I believe in having luxuries and treating yourself. I am not certain what the ceiling of wealth should be.
I do know there is a point that enough is enough.
This is not just me saying this, this is religion and philosophy throughout cultures and time.
There is a point that having a disproportional amount of money while others in society suffer poverty becomes pathological.
