One pathology that wealthy people (on a global scale) sometimes fall into is using their wealth and privilege to access behaviors that make them feel more like they’ve personally “worked hard” for what they have, like behavioral status symbols that are far less accessible to people without privilege.
Waking up early for purposes of pure self-maintenance, like meditation or high-end exercise, and getting to work very early, are often examples of this. It superficially feels like an accomplishment, like a justifying act of endorsing that you, as a wealthy person, are somehow exceptional and “deserving” (rather that just lucky to have money that buys the freedom to use recreational time like that) and allows you to focus on how your behavior differs from the masses to create a false sense that wealth is “earned” by “working” for it because of these photo-op-like engineered segments of “self-sacrifice.”
Less privileged folks may have to get up early just to barely make it to a shit job because of a 90 minute commute or a bunch of child care (or elder care) duties they have to perform. They may eat poorly or miss exercising because of all the obligations they cannot financially afford to offload.
I don’t see why anyone is reading a different idea into your comment.
