this working class tendency of some people to keep people down has always puzzled me.

i think it's an attitude and behaviour borne of fear, resentment and jealousy,

i just don't get it, surely financial stability is worth so much in quality of life, being stressed about bills is a little hell

and so many people hate work, really hate any kind of effort that isn't simple immediate gratification, it's like work is an evil thing

another thing, sometimes people just aren't that smart, there is no higher capacity to do anything more that what they are doing
