PHILOSOPHY BOOK FOR THE 21 ST CENTURY

You always hear people complaining about the very rich now. «Don't they have enough money? How many steaks a day can you eat?» But I mean the pleasure of money is not about having things. It's about having what others don't. Bill Gates is not more happy than Larry Ellison. But his pleasure is to have more money than Larry Ellison. I mean what would be the pleasure of being Angelina Jolie if all the other women were looking like her?

And this rule really works for eveything. Before the rich were fat. But now that the poor as as fat as the rich of 100 years ago, all the rich want to be thin. I guess It's just the same old story over and over.
