If someone destroys their own money, that is a pure gift to the rest of society.

If that doesn't make sense to you, you have not understood what money is!



A gift in the form of an insult.

There are more productive ways to deal with wealth inequality.


Maybe you get your feelings of rage and envy get in the way of clear thinking.

In my experience, that doesn't serve one well.


You can't be emotionless about money. If this were false, then rich people could make you do anything they want, which I hope for you is not the case.


Not letting envy/rage override logic != emotionless.
