What do you think of people whose lives were handed to them on a silver platter?

Sometimes, I feel that many are irrationally mad at these well-to-do people. Yes, there are lots of times when these seemingly "lucky" persons are showing off their riches to us, average ordinary plainsmen. But among them, there are still those kinds who are very human to their core. I mean, those people whose riches never went above their heads and still have hearts and minds that are as pure and innocent as the common man.
I just feel like I need to take a stand for them and the irrational hate that they get sometimes. I'm not one of them, I'm just part of the middle-class, I believe. But yet, I think that the hatred for the rich kids should just be for the snobby ones. Not for ALL of the rich ones.

I don't think any of them should be hated whether snobbish or kind. So many wealthy people are unhappy people. I can't help but feel sorry for them.

I have to admit that I do have some jealousy for the people that have never had to worry about a financial issue in their lives. The reason for that is because I am the kind of person that is constantly worrying about money in my life. However, the fact that these people were born into a life of wealth is not something that I am able to hold against those people. I can't have any hatred for them because they didn't ask to be born rich any more than I asked to be born into the middle class.

I doesn't bother me none if i tell you the truth. Life, being alive is a gift and it is is in itself a blessing which we should cherish each and everyday.
Jealousy and Envy are like a disease, they eat you up.

I totally agree with you. There are plenty of rich good people who give to charities and have a good heart. However, there are also plenty of the rich who don't think their @#$% stinks.
Not to get political on you I think Mitt Romney is one of these people. When he says he does not care about the poor because they have a safety net that is a naive stupid man in my book. I admire the family who may have more then others but teaches their kids the right way by not giving them everything on a silver platter. They are truly the peope who have their mind and hearts in the right direction.

I think everyone is different. Not all rich people are snobs and not all poor people are sweet and humble. People are people, we are all different from one another.
Sometimes people judge unfairly. We will never get away from judgements or people assuming things that they do not know!

I judge people by what they are like inside rather than by how much money they have on their accounts. People of character will never let money go to their heads because they know that there are values other than money according to which they act.

I agree, besides we don't know what any body's life is like until we walk in their shoes. Sometimes all that glitters is not gold and we don't know what they have had to endure in their lives. Just because someone is rich does not automatically mean their life is easy or that they are not truly very sweet people. Green eyes monsters are almost always blind.

I try to treat people the same and not pre judge them.In my opinion assuming someone is going to be snobbish and arrogant just because they are from a rich family is just as bad as looking down on somebody because they are poor.I judge people by how they behave Rich people are just as likely to be nice as poor people are.I can understand why people find rich people flaunting their wealth annoying and i think it is wrong for them to show off that they have got more than others.Though it is their money and they have every right to spend it on nice things.Most of us would buy the stuff they do if we could afford to and we don't judge lottery winners for spending money on these types of things and being born into a rich family is just as much a matter of luck as winning the lottery.
