Fascinating. But that's the beauty of life, isn't it? Everyone seems to have different values and goals for their life. You can be super-poor but still love the majority of things about your life. I should know - the cap nearly fits, so to speak. ;) Alternatively, you can be an abomination like Trump in your example, surrounded by fake arse-lickers (some of whom may actually be your family :( :( :( ), seeing value in all the most pathetic things in life. Do you need diamond rings on your fingers, for example? Some would say 'absolutely'. But you must know - as any sane person will - you could have a perfectly fantastic life without even knowing what a diamond is.

We all get ill. We all die. And healthcare generally helps (but is hardly perfect - there are unscrupulous people in the industry who will rip you off, rich or poor; there are diseases that money can't buy a cure for).

When I think of my life (my childhood spent raised in developed world 'poverty'), I wouldn't trade a day of it for Trump's 70+ years of being an absolute gobshite, a stain on humanity. Would you, a day of your life? Do you crave fake-love and fake-friendships that much with the rest of the world rightfully and understandably hating you?

I can honestly say, I'd rather have lived to the age of five and died than spent a Trump lifetime in Trump's flashy footwear. I loved my first five years of life (whilst incredibly poor, with some unpleasant experiences that steemed from that, I was incredibly lucky in many other ways, though). I don't know Trump's life story (obviously) and certainly nowhere near as much as I know mine. But I'm pretty sure he's been a spoilt brat twat the whole of his life, a life that's been full of servants and sycophants. Big fucking deal. A life that is hardly character building.

You've got to realise D J Trump is NOT a good human being by pretty much any legitimate method you could attempt to evaluate a person.

And education, you know what they say about that, don't you?

Trump went to all the best institutes. And just look how really really smart they made him. [/sarc]

For reasons of clarity, I believe he's not at all smart. Though he may hold the office of President of the United States, I've since lost a whole lot of respect for that - or at least the system by which the chosen are elected - and feel it was the shambolic aspects of the system that saw him win.

Thanks for the comment, I feel ya!

I mentioned in my post: "Work for your long-term success too. Don't feel depressed just because you are poor. After darkness comes the light."
