You speak truth, Chris.
I also think that many of the people who are super-rich (or even just ‘somewhat’ rich) are mentally ‘divergent’ i.e. borderline or full-on sociopaths. They are completely unable to accept any blame for things that go wrong or give credit to anyone or anything else for being part of their success. And perhaps more importantly, they have zero empathy for anyone else.
It seems that fear and greed dominate most of us, regardless of our wealth. Someone who learns to manipulate that fear and greed can turn us so deeply inward that we lose ourselves.
