You also once again didn't bother to ask, "Is what I'm writing now contradicted by what I wrote five minutes ago." Above, you claimed I'm "just miserable." That implies something much larger than an obnoxious lawyer and vacuous college prof making me jealous? I don't live my life with those sorts of jealousies, again, because of how I was raised. I never needed to be told that you don't look down on people with less money nor that you should envy those with more money or status. It's how my father's side . of the family uniformly lived their lives. In contrast, you've demonstrated several times in these exchanges that rank in society is important to you. I'd deal with that and I'd stop looking down on people you perceive to be of a lower status than you are. For instance, I don't teach middle school, but I would never use that status as an insult. You do and that speaks volumes about you.
