The existential angst of the rich


About soothe their angst enriching generate fortunes which indirectly benefit the least distressed.

From what I understand, humans are selfish because we have no choice and we believe that we are supportive popularly because we have no other alternative.

The cause of both features that appear to be opposite, is that we can scarcely with life, we are very vulnerable, born prematurely, everyone must help to stay alive.

The herd instinct is not a quality of which we can be proud of but the result that we were a long time away from others perish.

In short, we are naturally weak but our psyche that we need to think about getting sick strong. We are very selfish but we need to think that we are generous, caring, giving.

However, things happen that allow us to dramatize, represent, pretend that we can give, help, donate.

In this desire to compensate for the weakness that characterizes us, many people manage to alter its natural condition and begin to have more of what they need to live.

Indeed, without losing the inevitable weakness, those who assume that material goods can be amended with the weakness of the species, end up becoming financially rich.

The phenomenon resembles who felt undermined by his small stature and strive to have a large collection of very high-soled shoes.

In fact, you might think that any possession that exceeds what is necessary to live, is fulfilling the role of compensating for the lack of human imagination which we are all more or less aware.

This existential anguish suffered by some (the rich), makes them particularly productive, thanks to which it is possible to maintain a minimally acceptable average income, redistribution achieved by taxing States to finance social policies.

So the rich help the poor distressed.
