My dad’s third wife told me she shouldn’t have even paid for my plane ticket when he died. She married into extreme comfort, so this was a truly hateful statement. It was the most petty thing I’ve ever heard. She has always been a monster. I resolved never to interact with her ever again.
She got an extraordinary payday when my dad died. For her to get what she deserves, she’d have to shack up with a con artist who swindles it out of her. I don’t care about her enough to think about her now that she’s out of my life. Hideous, gross person.
I love wealthy people like that.
It's like they know on some unconscious level just how small and insignificant they really are, but can't pair it mentally with the fortune they find themselves in.
So rather than deal with the idea of luck and circumstance being the main factors of their existence, they lean hard on the idea that they deserve it by merit of simply being a superior being to others, and reinforce this belief into their head everyday with small acts of cruelty upon others.
I laugh at the sheer insecurity of it.
