1) I'm not envious, and somehow you take my disapproval of the elites wasting valuable space as envy. It is not. If I express disapproval at someone who dumps toxic waste in a river, do I envy them also? 2) Your comment made zero contribution to the conversation. Do you think I haven't hung out with my cousin and had a good time? I have. This changes nothing. Every person on the planet is capable of "producing good times and memories." She is also capable of taking her wealth and helping people at levels of magnitude that the rest of us can't, yet she does nothing. I don't envy, I observe and draw my conclusion that she spends zero hours a day working and 24 hours a day worrying about herself. Spending 1 hour a day running a charity would still allow her to "sit back, enjoy" and help people at the same time.

In some type of way you're longing for her money to change the world. I hope, instead, you long to change her mind, convince her that she needs to start donating. That was the point of me commenting, for you to treat this as a reminder to call her and put your perspective down. Not in casual way, she won't take you seriously. Throw a form of guilt, cause obviously that's what she needs. Value your principles man. She's your cousin and she has the potential to change herself and the world. Understand that power. I wish one of my distant cousins were like this. Her elite world view would come down to Earth at least once a month. Don't take it the wrong way.

"She is also capable of taking her wealth and helping people at levels of magnitude that the rest of us can't, yet she does nothing." This is a fact stated from a point of view of a clear philosophy - that the powerful/resourceful people have to use their power/resources for the good of humanity. All it takes for her (and alike) is not to share this philosophy and prefer let's say, a more hedonistic one. Let's enjoy the philosophical diversity, shall we? ;)
