No One is Immune From Terminal Illnesses
It’s insensitive to ask someone from a wealthy background if they have ever felt pain.
No one is immune from terminal illnesses. Wealthy people are as likely as anyone else to get hit by cars or assaulted or feel pressured to perform better in school.
I never want to assume that many heirs and heiresses of millionaires and billionaires have been given everything their entire lives.
There is a chance that many of them are lonely.
Maybe many of them have volatile relationships with their family members.
I suspect that a lot of these people don’t feel free to make their own choices.
They may experience some unwanted scrutiny.
They may be attacked on social media.
It’s likely that they dispel assumptions of having ‘nothing to worry about’ or of ignoring the plight of everyday average income people or of knowing ‘nothing about problems’. It’s exhausting to have to stand up and tell people off for their assumptions.
Maybe a lot of wealthy people stay within bubbles where many around them are not considered real friends but people that they feel that they have to impress or keep up appearances with.
