Chinton:
As long as we're expressing our personal opinions here, I find the opinions you've expressed narcissistic, uninformed, juvenile and sad.
First, I can assure you that i, for one, do not aspire to be a spoiled brat with no gratitude for my country or my situation. I enjoy my work, as well as my prosperity. Second, you are arrogant and naive to suggest that others are less well travelled than you. I, for example, have crawled the Chu Chi tunnels, dined at the Place de Vendome, partied at the Savoy, dived Little Cayman, explored Belize, dined at San Pietro, sipped espresso in Lugano, done Cipriani's in Venice enjoyed Safari in Singita, toured Capetown, viewed the whales in Hermanus and skied Vail--in the last 12 months. I've had the privilege of meeting the Hong Kong people, the Prime Minister of Italy and of downing Biers at the Heidelberg Schloss. I've not only learned healthy respect for the views of others and their societak differences but also I've learned how fortunate I am to live in America.
Third, your inherited prosperity has seemingly rendered you ignorant (can't spell simple words) and bitter, with an unjustified "I'm better than you are" adolescent attitude. Count me as proud of earning what I have, and grateful for what I do have.
Oh, by the way, I try to do a small thing to better society each and every day. Try it--you might find you have a good reason to be grateful and proud, rather than a bad reason to be resentful, bitter and arrogant. |
