Nevermind learning empathy. That one is going to be tricky for you, I feel.
Luckily, you don’t need it to reach the correct outcome. Look into the other concept that is kept from you, the same reason why companies seek to “collude” in the “free” market.
Selfish Altruism; it’ll make your life easier and still save your descendants. Do it for you.
Oh no the unfortunates are going to have things. How can I someone of privilege survive without things? Is this the Robin Hood paradox where rich people will end up being moochers after all the moochers take their stuff?
This is Gary Larson. The armadillos are a joke. He made a joke. That’s what he does. You made a self centered statement about your entitlements.
If you can’t tell the difference between a moochers and a person who had bad luck and need a hand then you’re not well equipped for the social life we need. Because you have more in common with that person than with the one you seem to identify with.
I can easily tell the difference; one is born in money and is actually mooching on society, the rest of us should team up and kick that guy.
Your issue is one of perspective. You think your little things have a meaning, and you think that someone like Elon Musk just has more things (edit: because he worked harder or longer). As someone that actually works with centimillionaires and some billionaires, their lives are incredibly different on a fundamental level. They don’t just have more spare things. They suck government subsidies as income.
Trust me, the guy who is asking for a spare has it just as bad as you, with extra bad luck that day. Show some empathy.
