I loathe preachiness, but this point is important to me: it’s not, “just wait you rich, thin, intelligent people, I’m gonna get what’s comin to me.” It’s not a big Screw you guys I’m going home. Don’t live by a sense of entitlement just because you have a disadvantage; live by a sense of abundance and responsibility.
