- theelous3 6y agoDo more of your version of good ;) Lots of rich well intentioned people doing harmful good. A tangent, I know.
- Haga 6y agoFor lots of money you have to rewrite your personality, loose interest in anything not related to money and you loose the ability to do pure good in the world without a return of power, money or status.
- michaelt 6y agoI think what TheOtherHobbes means is you can survive adversity and pursue fulfilling interests without rising to the level of 'rich' - unless your interest is something like having colleges name buildings after you! Indeed, it would be a poor reflection on our society if you had to be in the top percentile for income to merely be economically secure.
