The power of persuasion is too powerful?

So, the point of this thread is, as I translated to my mind:
  • basically success and happiness are predefined, and everyone should follow the pattern.
  • more money more happiness
  • due to the first and second reasons, people are classified into low and high rank. People with more money, more beauty are more valuable than the ugly/average/(rarely)handsome nerdy engineers/scientists with less money?
Why do you think that having more money make yourself worthy? I bet you would value people's lives differently. Do you think the death of Bill Gates is a greater loss than a criminal? Maybe, to our society, but no for nature. To nature, Bill Gates is just a living creature, and his death is nothing more than the death of any living animal. So does for us all. Many of us wonder why good people have to die and bad people live. Simply because they can. The good people are just as mortal as the bad people. Both can die. Lives are equal. A dog, or even an insect dies, it is the same as human.

By reading your post, it suggests that you are more materialistic than spiritual. How do you know Henry had a sad life? Maybe he got a wonderful but peaceful life? How do you know John is happy? He may have exchange a lot to get that amount of money. By the way, do you think Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg make a lot of money by communication only?

Why do you worry so much about not being smarter than other people, more beautiful than other people? Try to answer that question. Is it somehow related to your confident level?

You should be happy and sympathize with people who do not have as much as advantages as society think. Imagine a society with everyone as smart as others, as beauty as others, as strong as others, as tall as others.... Is it good?

This.

To someone already happy success would merely be a boon. Having too much money can be just as much a weight as having none...
