Fast forward to the total opposite in Eastern Europe (where I live abroad now), and here if you have something nice, and you don't brag, nor tell anyone - they just see, right away they hate out of jealousy.
So I really don't know which is better, either/or of the cases.

The first part. This is what I have realized is that a lot of people in the west are not "like this". but we are so on the hustle, so on the grind, so distracted that we have forgotten that the image we project to the rest of the world is just of that is of greedy bastards.
The west is supposed to be run by the middle class and the intelligent few "helping" but the gap has turned into perceived intelligence (stupid people convinced they are middle class) really being guided by the super intelligent.
it has happened throughout history and it has happened to us. but instead of admitting it we pretend we are different? lolz
