A discussion to express your views and perspectives on the future economic fear between two class of people in the society, the rich and the poor.
-I have often heard that there's an even greater fear with getting money, who do you think has more fear about the future?
(A) The Rich man who has tasted the good things of life and enjoying the best, now he has to face the fear of the possibility of suddenly loosing all he possesses and becoming poor? Or
(B) The poor man who has not enjoyed anything in life yet, just surviving and facing the fear of an unknown future, thinking if he is ever going to be in a better position or the suffering is going to continue?
I'm sure the rich man has a greater fear about the future. The fear of losing what you have already achieved is worse than the fear of not thriving financially during a lifetime for the average poor on his confort zone. The rich has too much to lose, so he will care much more about his finances, while the poor has nothing, so for him anything the future holds is acceptable. It's common to see people suiciding after going bankruptcy, while we rarely see people suiciding for being poor. There are exceptions in every cases, but basically these are the most common behaviors of riches and poors I observe.
