I've seen many people angry or frustrated at the success of others (both here and offline). But, when looking beneath the surface it is usually jealously. They hate millionaire athletes and businessmen, but long for riches.
They would have done the same or similar things if they were given the opportunity.
Are we surprised our leaders "are the sell-out reflection of who we are"?

Personally I never really felt jealous of those people. I was lucky in some instances in my life to join these classes. I didn't find anything special really. The toys are just more expensive. You eventually roll back to the normal levels of your personal satisfaction with life. This is how and why many celebrities end up in rehab. At one point money just won't cut it so they get depressed.
I had the opportunity to join the upper classes even here in Steemit. I actually tried to write that kind of content. I physically couldn't do it. I was feeling disgusted with myself. I guess some of us just can't be hypocrites. This can sometimes make us appear as assholes.
If you want to see my views on leadership check this one out
Not only assholes. Sometimes you also feel kind of lonely, but I prefer one or two true friends over bunch of hypocrites. And that way I have more time for myself. By the way. Enjoy your post.
Thanks
Don't you get tired of everyone shouting "JEALOUSY!" all the time? Is there really no other possible explanation for one's words or behavior?
I found your views on leadership excellent example of leading by example. Like enlightened antiguru who not only refuses to start and lead another religious cult, but beats the hell out of the sheeple suggesting, expecting and demanding so. Life of Brian... :)
