Many people equate business, financial or political success with happiness or even a blessing from their god. They are roosters, feeling that “providence” has ordained their position at the top of the heap, and they behave accordingly. Avoid them if you can. Avoid “success prophets” and stressful things like amassing money and then having to constantly look over your shoulder, wondering who was trying to thieve it all from you.
Alas, happiness comes from the inside, not from a big bank balance. Be comfortable by all means, but be as free as possible from anxiety. Life is short. Enjoy it, for you , too, will in due course be a feather duster.
Is there life after the “feather duster?” ; -)
Most feather dusters are bought, tuck in a dark closet and are never seen again. At least, we never use ours. As Handel would say, ” despised and rejected” . Add forgotten.
