IMO the saying is more about how when you eliminate the struggle to acquire wealth, there’s less meaning in your day to day life. I’m sure folks like Musk and Bezos for example are looking for something that makes them feel purposeful, like going into space. Not necessarily trying to enrich the lives of others.
I agree though that not having to worry about bills or putting food on the table is it’s own kind of happiness. I think there’s a healthy balance.
I never said you didn’t, but to clarify, usually you don’t have to say it when you’re happy. I guess unless you’re doing the song and clapping your hands.
Folks that think anyone is offended by the American flag are showing how narrow and focused their worldview has become. Time and time again I hear feedback from certain people visiting “liberal hell holes” like Seattle and Portland saying that the fear seems overblown and things aren’t bad as they’re being reported.
That being said, it’s not like homelessness and drug use in major cities aren’t a problem, but rather they have been for a long while now, and frustratingly so. We have solutions to some of these problems, or even ideas we can try but we just aren’t doing them. Instead people are just pointing at the problem and pretending it actually affects them, when they just ignore those people who are struggling anyway.
