A single celebrity is a bit more personal than just the corporation their people to imagine they have their own opinions although if what they're saying is truly personal or not I don't know

[Eva 4]

I've always wondered if some of them are truly disconnected from the reality of lives of common people, or if they've just become very cynical

[Eva 4]

or narcissistic

i mean with so much money, it's just so easy to hide yourself in your own bubble

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

Probably all kinds

[Eva 4]

there's so much to change with money

[Eva 4]

but like, would most ppl be willing to sacrifice daily comfort to just use that money to attempt (not even be sure to) changing things

not justifying their behaviour

im truly trying to think about all of this

[moon☁ 10]

They definitely seem out of touch with reality.

[Eva 4]

it must take a certain amount of sheltering or cognitive dissonance to be wealthy and avoid all these issues

i'd be uncomfortable with so much money, i'd either drown in luxury until i forget so much ppl starve out there, or use every penny to solve sth bc i wouldn't feel worthy to own so much

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

Or like the people who win the lottery and then ruin their lives or go on spending sprees

[Eva 4]

yup, but that's just bc those people have lived with a certain mentality i guess

[Eva 4]

it was overnight

it's like work pleasure work pleasure

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

I like to imagine if that ever happened to me I would be more reasonable but who knows maybe I would change as a person but I like to think I wouldn't

imagine coming into so much money people don't know how to handle

[Eva 4]

i'm pretty sure i'd lose it all in a matter of weeks

or get scammed

buying some house

or apartment

lol

my brain can't handle such complex topics

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

Personally I've never really been one to care for luxuries so i can with a lot of money I'd probably still live cheaply just by nicer food I don't know

[Eva 4]

or stuff that requires immediate attention

[Eva 4]

and long term planning

[Eva 4]

Yeah

[Eva 4]

that's also how I grew up thinking

but that's also because i didn't have a terrible childhood

i've had time to experience some "luxuries" even in middle class terms

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

Yeah I guess that might be true as well who knows but like going but like going places and stuff I always saw still see as a chore

[Eva 4]

rn i just want my apartment and maybe to crochet on my freetime lol

[Eva 4]

so useless

[Eva 4]

i think the two last generations are just coming in terms with the reality of what they'll be able to afford

[Eva 4]

we don't dream big

[Eva 4]

we can't

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

Like my family likes to go on cruises and vacations to Mexico and I'm like why I'd rather get waterboarded then go on a long trip like that
