First of all, in some degree, this post can be seen about love also. So it is in the theme of this forum. I hope my post will not be removed or locked, etc because of that....I am optimistic about it because many people have more off-topic thing than this one but theirs are still here.
IAccording to my experience, people I have known who are wealthy are also emotional, spiritual,etc. And they possess more characters that you required than people who complaint about so and have hostility toward them can possess.
I would not apply any of my stereotypes on this point, because stereotyping itself would lead to hostility.
I do not know why females have criticised me more than males on this point.
It is not as simple as "those that notice and follow social norms". Everything exist must have its own reason. Therefore, let us have a think about it instead of criticising each other. For we are both civilised people.
And "follow social norms" itself is not a negative term either. It has, at least, the same value as to being special and ignore the social norms. As long as you understand which way we have chosen. Just different, but both have its own reason.
The usefulness of wealth and social status is that they can prove, in some degree, most of required characters that you have mentioned in your post. And I may put my doubt here, can it prove that he must have some indubitable defect in him, if he is not wealthy or successful enough and complaint about it? If they have not got hostility towards it but satisfied, they are as good options as people who are wealthy or successful with so. I may prefer a professor who teaching intelligent postgraduate(or higher) students in a good university( as long as he has good income) than a' billionare industrialist' who has not got romantic ideas and never reading or meditating.
I can understand opinions from most of you, for I have been fanatically worshipped Karl Marx before, when I was much younger. But I think it is more wise and does no harm to choosing a man who with all characters you required and also wealthy.
I would be cloyed if I write it as an long essay to prove thus. I cannot see any point to prove it here. It would not be proven to the world or not be so by my essay. I would not say anymore to repeat myself, because I have no mood to continue thinking about new opinions. I think it is clear enough already.
Public opinion are the real answer. Therefore, I would not say anymore. Public opinions, although they sound vulgar, does not mean they are not true. Public opinion are formed by millions of opinions of independent individuals.
The difference here is that I am not a blind follower but can thinking independently.
To care about others' impression about you itself is a form of childishness. But I was irratated by all the criticisms. I found that it is unnecessary now.
Thank you for reading it. Different opinions are always welcome.
