    I base it on life experience and the people I’ve known in my life.

    I’ve watched countless empathetic people do good for others and they never grew any wealthier than when they were 20.

    I’ve also seen lots of people completely disregard others, take advantage of as many as possible and as often as they can and got rewarded at every step to the point they became enormously wealthy.

    The lack of empathy for others directly correlated to the amount of wealth a person has. You have to be a certain kind of mentality to believe that you can own outrageous amounts of money while others are struggling around you.

    You have to be psychopathic to want to own enough money to last a thousand lifetimes to live in a world where you know others are starving and dying because they have nothing … and often because of ones insatiable need to want to own the entire world.
