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.
