More inspiration of envy than pride. Not surprising.

A mere ~$500K of individual adult net worth (believe it or not)
qualifies for the 99th percentile in global net worth from the UN wealth
study. Imagine that.

First they go against...

I shouldn't be anybody's target. I am just sitting in front of my
computer and philosophize what life was, is and will be or should be
about. I am retired so I have lots of time to think, to feel, to see,
to hear, to smell, to sense and to philosophize.

Well, they still hate you more than you love them. And you should be the
very first one to understand that.

I don't love them,
and they don't hate me.

I'm just one among 7 billion on earth.

Then what are you going to do about it. Donate them equally all around
the 7 billion on earth, or donate them in more targeted fashion.
Assuming of course you won't give any to your own children as that'd be
favoritism and would be colossally unfair by court of humanity.

Indeed, people who preach universalism and generosity are often the most
selfish of all.

Selfish!!! Heck no, RAT!!! I haven't got a "selfish " bone in my
body.
What's mine is mine.
What's yours is yours.
What everybody else got is theirs.

If you don't have any, then you haven't done any good for humanity.
