What I meant was this exactly:
From all these posts I concluded it's more like a cultural thing, than anything else. I live in Croatia, which is an ex socialist country. For years, everybody had as little or as many as everybody else. If someone did have more, it wasn't obtained in a legal manner. 
We've changed our socialistic regime (some 20 years ago) and we have capitalism now, so differences in wealth are allowed and normally occur. Still, people look at someone who jumps out of the average kind of wrong.
For example, I have a feeling people wish to be more successful than their neighbour in America. Or at least as successful. Where I live, people wish their neighbour was as unsuccessful as they were. 
I know this is a generalisation, but I'm just trying to paint a picture of the society I live in. |
Thank you for letting me know we are on the same wave link. As an old guy, it's a delight to meet young people who understand.
