“It is to may amazement that someone who has all that money to buy anything they want will throw their money away on crap. I wonder how many in the entertainment industry are also throwing their money away on crap?”
It’s precisely because they CAN buy all the stuff they want that makes these people turn to dangerous pleasures. Eventually buying all the homes, cars, women, planes, etc that you want on a whim stops making you happy. They start chasing greater highs until the body can no longer handle it. If you’re rich, the dealers/pimps come to YOU and prey on your inner sadness.
They’re also constantly surrounded by people who will say or do anything to grab a piece of their pie. Spiritual happiness/love with a partner and true friendship becomes something that many of them can’t even understand.
I know some of the wealthiest people in the country and can say without a doubt that limitless money/time does not buy happiness. Human nature typically makes it the exact opposite.
Your insightful comments are spot on. I had a friend who mingled with the rich and famous years ago and I was told virtually the same thing. When you have all that money can buy, something happens in their mind that makes the normal pleasures no longer exciting. That’s when they are susceptible to the mind altering drug alternatives to life’s pleasures. It is too bad they don’t get a clue to what this web of entrapment means as a consequence. Instead they surround themselves with a drug culture that aids and abets the entrapment.
