Fitting

I've had a few thoughts that follow from my previous post, but nothing solid enough to write about. 

Still, I came across a quote in some fiction I'm reading that seemed relevant, although part of what I'm considering is how to tell whether this is really true or not. 

Sometimes, odd as it sounds,I wish I was rich just so I'd have the access to decide for myself if this is true. It seems likely? Multiple sources definitely believe it. It's just... You'd think if it were true that more of the elite would realize there's something wrong about it.

I sometimes suspect that the 'elite' who are so driven are like that because they're... Broken. Or at least, they're not generally happy and well adjusted.

But what do I know?

Anyways, the quote:

"Regular people care about things like having a good life, eating well, talking with friends, and finding love. The elite care about power and control. They obsess over it, and are terrified of losing it.”
