Common attitudes and perceptions, today are more a result of TV and feelings of inferiority and superority.
Allways have been a divide between the wealthy and the poor in most, of society.
Many of the wealthiest people, I've been aquainted with were just like anyone else. you can't tell anything about their station in life by just talking with them. If someone tries to be superior, or arrogant, I just go the other way. Don't need be associated with them. Envy? I would like to have some big toys and things that money affords Being happy doesn't involve letting one or two, with the attitude, into our lives. Look the other way and go about breakfast with the gang and go have some fun.
