They say, "Rich people don't fight," but these days, rich people fight more.
The world's richest man, Elon Musk, for example, fights with his country.
To give a more humble example, many presidents with annual incomes of 10 million yen or more are habitual customer harassers.
They disrespect and attack store employees, so is it bullying rather than fighting?
I heard this story from a mother.
On a string boat coming back from Dalian after the defeat in the war, one pickled daikon radish was found.
The uncle measured it with a ruler, cut it into pieces, and gave it to everyone equally.
In other words, in a situation of extreme poverty and hunger, people try to help each other and survive together.
Surprisingly, they do not fight each other, outbid each other, or quarrel with each other.
They know that if one person takes all the food, the others will starve to death.
Riots in large American cities often result in the destruction of stores and looting.
It is not because they are so deprived, but because they are somewhat affluent that they engage in barbaric behavior.
Those who flee with a lot of store goods are usually fattened up.
In a family where food is plentiful, one can always find something to eat when one reaches for it.
Unless they pay attention to their health, they get into the habit of eating as they desire.
And when they are hungry, they try to get food even if it means pushing others away.
Therefore, in a society overflowing with food and goods, people become savage.
People who have been brought up in affluent family environments tend to be less kind and more heartless than those who have been brought up in affluent families, because they are connected to this barbarism.
Incidentally, the fact that the world's situation is becoming more and more tense these days is probably related to the fact that the world has become richer as a result of the increase in productivity.
Yes, the world has become richer and more savage.
We cannot go back to a society where people naturally help each other because they are poor, and no one wants that.
Can it be that affluence, when peeled off, reveals barbarism and degrades people's character?
We can never escape from the truth that "when something is full, something is lacking" (*_*)
