ascribing to any and all that don't enrich them to the degree they seek as the darkest evil

Yea I actually experience this in real life all the time. Many people lose money in the stock market so they write it off it as a corrupt game. I will tell them I do pretty well but do not recommend people do what I do. Then the person I am talking to will usually tell me I am going to lose all my money one day or start telling me how to invest my money. Very strange lol
