>There are people in the world who uphold economic wealth and ownership over life itself.
They weren't born that way.
They grew up as wide-eyed children in the same world we all did. They loved to sing songs and share things at one time, too.
Their only fault is that they were perhaps more efficient or "luckier" than the rest of us in acquiring their wealth. Which in turn forced the rich person persona onto them. It's pretty much downhill from there on out. Save for a few astonishing outliers like Bill Gates, thankfully.
Money is the new God.
It cures our blind and heals our lepers. It puts food on our tables for which we give thanks. If even withers our fig trees.
It performs real miracles every day in a way that a book never could.
In short, I'm not surprised that those who have acquired massive amounts of money are now suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Is it possible to restrict the power that money has while still retaining most of it's core values? I don't know... But I'd bet money on it that we're going to find out pretty soon.
Bill Gates? Really? His company is one of the biggest proprietary companies in the world that to this day are still venturing into people's privacy as standard.
