The Elite

 Jealousy is one feeling which I find difficult to avoid. Though we have been brought up that it is wrong that is the first feeling that comes when we see someone getting something which we cannot even imagine. When we start looking at it under microscope we also have certain things which another group cannot imagine having. And this loop continues. So there is always someone above you and there is always someone beneath you.

Why is this world having such disparities? Isn't everyone equal? Didn't GOD create or intend it that way? The famous Sivaji movie dialogue that "Rich gets richer and poor gets poorer". 

Is that a result of capitalism? Will this be solved by moving towards communism or socialism? How did such disparity come in first place? How come someone became rich and someone became poor? 

I feel initially the disparity was a result of talent someone possessed. There is always difference in the capability of individuals. Someone can do more naturally and someone cannot do more naturally. For ex. someone is born healthy and someone is born physically challenged or someone has specific talent while others don't. But there is also a "by choice" decision. Someone chooses to work hard and someone prefers to be lazy and idle around.

In the olden days the guy with that extra strength and/or talent would have performed better and the weaker ones would have always taken his help. As part of this transaction one person keeps gaining more than others. When this happens over a period one becomes wealthy. Now the one with talent when he has offsprings he passes on the talent. Naturally we start to see one lineage doing better than other. While these happen wealth also sometimes gets passed on to the untalented ones through luck.

But predominantly the one with talent and strength became wealthy and during the course people who were lucky and another group which wanted to become wealthy through shortcuts also shared that wealth.

Whatever we are now seeing is not a healthy disparity where talented is wealthy and others are not. What we are seeing now is a system which started out well but got corrupted in the process.

So we see in this world there are things only the wealthy has access to and they are wealthy not because of their talent but because of luck and/or shortcuts.

Now, when someone who got ended up on the wrong side because of this corrupted system becomes jealous is it wrong? Is The Elite really Elite?
