Too many wealthy Americans suffer from some version of this. If you are born to wealth and grow up in wealth I guess your viewpoint of the universe won’t be a very accurate one. The disproportionate power that wealth grants to you then becomes even more destructive.

What I cannot understand is how so many who suffer or struggle themselves attack fellow victims of this. Punching sideways or down i disgusting but it seems people are always looking for someone to blame and feel better than. This entire experience made me a misanthrope in large. I cannot every discuss my experience without a large number of attacks. It's comforting in a small way to see its not the majority in an international audience, but the American audience and many interactions are very hostile to someone else's pain.
