My thought would be that after a certain amount of wealth is acquired. Let's say one billion dollars. The game changes, to acquisition of power.

Ya! I think that's pretty much it. It becomes multi-dimensional where it's no longer "the same thing" really.

I don't hold ill will towards those pulling the strings, in fact I pity them. Imagine the "Karma" that is in store for those who seek to trample down the world, in order to raise themselves up. I sure wouldn't want that hanging over my head.

Right, I'd imagine they're not happy. Like it's not even a judgment call, it just goes against the tide of what it means to be human, to want to be controlling others. So I don't think there's any room to be happy or satisfied from it.

It's like they're kind of born into a trap. And then letting go is scary, because they grow dependent on it, like if they're empty except for their riches they feel like they really need the riches. But actually they too I think would be better off when they get out of it and let go.
