That last one tends to be more on people who inherited their wealth, according to the person interviewed.Musk doubles down on his shitty behavior at every turn. His abuse of those around him is his own doing.
And I will say with as much empathy as I can manage: rich people need positive mental health direction, because ultimately, it may not only be them that suffers if things go bad for them.
Look at fucking Musk.

I get this board doesnt like rich people, but sometimes it just seems yall think anyone with money was always like that, or that they stop being humans. I understand a lot of rich people are horrible and parasitic to this world, but they are still people with struggles.People without money kill themselves all the time, so there is no specific need to pity the rich. Pity the people who are so poor they can barely put food on the table, because that's a worry the rich will never have.
Many famous people have killed themselves despite having material wealth. I dislike the idea that having money is all thats needed in the world, because its not, and rich people can definitely have problems that throwing money at wont solve

People act like money makes you invincible and it doesnt.

It's not downplaying a struggle to point out that rich people uniquely have the resources to get the quality therapists and treatment they need that are unavailable to many people. Is having money all that's needed in the world? No, but I think you're kidding yourself if you believe money is not the #1 quality of life differentiator among individuals, because it objectively, measurably is.

But there are literally people in this very topic completely downplaying rich peoples ability to have struggles in their lives. Do i pity them for having money? No I just pity any human who struggles with their mental health because I understand what its like.

There are unhappy rich people, but most people's level of happiness in life does go up as their income goes up. So it's probably better to say money doesn't guarantee happiness, but it does go a long way toward making you happier.

That's something I'm surprised so many people don't understand. When I was young, I thought money meant happiness, but now that I'm older, I realize that once your basic needs are met, extra money does nothing. I have a healthy amount of money accumulated and it just sits in the bank. I don't know what to do with it. I wish I could go to the store and buy a 'happiness' potion, but it doesn't work that way. The reality is that I wish I had someone special to share it with, but I don't. So ironically, the more money I accumulate, the more depressed I become.

Maybe if they weren't such self centered greedy pieces of shit, they could do something about it. Instead they choose to make everyone as miserable as them.like this is the shit im talking about.
like this is the shit im talking about.People like them are the minority. Most of them are like the ones who support corporations and vote for their own tax breaks.
What is your definition of rich? Is anyone with money a horrible person? The Weeknd donated millions to support Gaza, yet many of his songs are about his personal struggles and inner darkness. Does he not deserve to feel this way because hes rich?
People like him are the minority. Most of them are like the ones who support corporations and vote for their own tax breaks.Yet hes still rich. His problems and struggles deserve to be heard.
1. Feelings of isolationDang
2. Paranoia and distrust
3. Distorted sense of purpose
Yet hes still rich. His problems and struggles deserve to be heard.Millionaire. Anything under is just someone with a lot of money.
This isnt even saying billionaires which basically cannot exist in a moral way, just rich people in general. What do you consider the minimum of being rich?
I might be thinking of a different study, but I thought the happiness only went up with income up to a certain point? The thing is that you reach thresholds where you don't have to stress about financial emergencies and then later the point where you can just buy whatever you want without having to think about it. Additional money after the former isn't going to impact you as drastically, and additional money after the later is basically doing nothing other than feeding an addiction to seeing a number go up. The happiest people are probably going to fall in between the two.That was an older study. A newer one (that the team behind the older study was involved in) shows that for most people happiness does continue to increase with income level. What that older study was finding was more that if a person is unhappy then the degree to which money can mitigate that unhappiness levels off at a certain point.
Also in the article linked, it implies that every one of those problems was caused by having money. So just give it up if it's making them so miserable. oh wait lmaoooo
Millionaire. Anything under is just someone with a lot of money.So you think anyone thats a millionaire is awful and doesnt deserve to have struggles?
So you think anyone thats a millionaire is awful and doesnt deserve to have struggles?They do have problems, but rather than use that position of power/influence to help the entire community, they either sit on their money and complain, buy into anti poor propaganda, or support the ultra rich.
Thats wack as hell dude.
They do have problems, but rather than use that position of power/influence to help the entire community, they either sit on their money and complain, buy into anti poor propaganda, or support the ultra rich.Okay and many many people who are millionaires do engage in activism and try to give back. A million dollars is really not as much as it used to be.
Yet hes still rich. His problems and struggles deserve to be heard.See, here is where I disagree on some level. His feelings still matter certainly, he's a human like anyone else, but the idea we need to specifically hear about his depression instead of the depression oof the guy who lives in the apartment below you that you don't know the name of is more weird celebrity obsession.

We should treat any persons mental struggles with the same amount of care.
I think it's fine if he shares he's going through a tough patch if he's asked in an interview, hell it's fine if he writes songs about it etc, but I don't think we have some greater obligation to specifically think about his life. "Deserve to be heard" makes it sound like some kind of political message. I honestly feel we pry too much into celebrities lives in general tbh.
This Is all sort of a roundabout way of saying I think we should respect everyone's mental health and the idea we specifically need to worry about rich people is weird.
