I'm not sure I'd take a billionaire's view on envy. It always comes off as "Let them eat cake" to me.

I'd rather listen to someone closer to the bottom, who actually had to sacrifice for that viewpoint, like Jesus or a well adjusted homeless person.

Charlie Munger wasn't a millionaire all his life. And he lost a child to cancer when the kid was 10 years old. Besides losing both his wifes as well.

Reality is more complex than you make it. Not all billionaires are horrible people in case you didn't know.

But yes, enjoy your Jesus fantasy.

Who are you to tell him that feeling hate and bitterness is unhealthy? Bitterness is useful, it helps us protect our values and helps prevent anti social behavior.

I don't know about OP but I definitely don't feel envy toward these people. I try to imagine myself in their shoes and just can't imagine myself spewing the same garbage or being the same kind of chauvinistic dick about something like this.
