My aunt is a hard #worker and good saver. She has some #money through it but is not at all well off. If you say the word "rich " around her she can't help but think you are referring, at least in part, to her.
Yes narcissism.This is common. It seem, anyone with two nickles thinks they are close to the top 10%. It's nuts, you're not even in the same galaxy as the top 10%

Please replace all use of the term "rich" in all my writing with #GreedySociopath . If there's confusion created, I'll be glad to clarify.

Our #madness is in the motive. #Profit seeking rules the #GreedySociopath . Our revered modern #priest . Profit seeking is embedded in our #moral structures and value #systems well above any mentions of #altruism . Our great #societal madness is in the open and or subconscious desire to have what the greedy sociopath has and somehow avoid being a hated #villain of the #people .
We want the full belly of the cannibal without the judgement of the other or the mirror of #conscience .
We are born into this thinking and go so far as to say it is human nature when we know of no other way. Darwin is missuses in this context.
My grandmother, a bit drunk and serious as a razors edge said to 13 yr old me loudly across the dinner table:
"The means is the end."
I was aware of what It meant then but not fully. I didn't get the weight of sacrifice that she felt related to the WWII in this statement. That over the table delivery makes it glow for me. That old #truth, mostly ignored today,
Thanks old lady.
