It's all about balancing your life and I give alot of shit away free all the time.
I dont need much so Our payouts are high because I dont buy razors etc.:1orglaugh

If society didnt judge us on what we have I would give them to you right now.
I cant take any of it with me when I die anyway.

I have to show some wealth to show success for business reasons

I completely agree that people shouldnt belittle others based on what they dont have.

But it really cracks me up when people with wealth talk as if material possesions are absolutely meaningless.

Because these people spend an awful long time and put in an extreme amount of work to amass possesions they say are meaningless.

I don't buy it for a second. That would be completely irrational.

lol.. I think many kids are very evil to each other. Worse than adults.

sad/funny story , i had a family member die , and did something quite similar. He was worried his wallet would be stolen..

This is nothing more than you rationalizing you holding on to your wealth.

if your weath truly meant nothing then you would have absolutely no trouble at all walking away from it... none what so ever..

dude just admit it to yourself that you covet wealth just as much as the next guy. if you didn't you wouldnt have amassed any of it for yourself.

I see your point. I totally agree but I think its picked up or taught by parents and there surroundings.

We are programmed at an early age.

People are petty by nature. And lazy. For the most part, it's easier to try to find dirty secrets, start rumours and trash talk someone in an effort to bring someone down to a level that's lower than your own... rather than to try and work hard and raise yourself to a level that's higher than someone else's.

One method is rewarding to a true winner, the other is rewarding to a true loser.

It was odd and funny. He always was a fairly funny man and at the same time a penny pincher of epic portions. To everyone that knew him this made complete sense.

They think that they are stronger if they pick on weak people

and why would you pick on someone whom you know is stronger than you?

Hit the nail on the head:thumbsup

Folks who belittle others have a problem to start with. It's called "insecurity".

It also has no bearing on wealth or how poor an individual is. It only takes 10 mins at a webmaster show (or any public gathering) to identify "insecurity" - it
often comes in the from of a need to be relevant.

Conversely, the guy who cleans cars may be poor, but still try to belittle his work colleagues.

Insecurity often comes along with a bout of arrogance, a need to boast and make claims which are "not quite accurate" - it's an embarassing disease :)

There are a few people well-known internationally in their own fields of expertise and much respected. They certainly are not what could be described as wealthy. They accquired respect by who they are as individuals - and often are the most modest and quiet people in a room, despite they have more to boast about than 99.9% of the folks on this planet. Never would there be an instance of belittling anyone - it's the complete opposite.

So!! Spot the bullshitter - chances are he will have a "face" to present to you and another face to present to folks he needs to get nasty with in an effort to satisfy his insecurities :thumbsup :winkwink:
