Ignoring For Millennia What We Know

Time apparently does not wear down our resistance to some of our best realizations.

The humble suffer when the mighty disagree. -Phaedrus (1st century CE)

There's no surer justice in the world than that which makes the rich thief hang the poor one. -Peire Cardenal (13th century CE)

When the rich wage war it's the poor who die. -Jean-Paul Sartre (20th century CE)

Just one more related quote that nicely reveals an insight into why wealth can manipulate motivation.

Riches do not exhilarate us so much with their possession as they torment us with their loss. -Samuel Gregory (19th century CE)
