Jakun'ness

I am somewhat amused by people who almost never go out of their houses for anything other than meals, school, lessons, compulsory and obligatory events. They are sheltered from the outside world with the highly probable reason of it being dangerous outside. Most of these cases are however often related to well off people. I will not use the term 'rich' because nobody will admit they are rich unless they are really filthy rich. Heck even somebody who is able to get a baby grand on a whim with the sole and oh so compelling reason of wanting to study to be a concert pianist, can say they are not rich. Which is why I do not use the term rich.

These people... *cringes* upon being released from their captivity or habitat tend to make trivial stuff into a 'matter of a fact' deal. You may mistake me for being those people that try to be cool by being unimpressed due to 'been there done that' syndrome but no, I assure you. If I wanted to be cool, you would be able to tell obvious symptoms of an attention depraved person.

Maybe it is us less privilege people that take certain things we have everyday for granted which these well off people never even dreamed of doing. I guess Janis Joplin has a point in singing 'Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose'.
Whatever it is, I hate well off people who have a 'I'm so smart and better than you' attitude. I have never met a person who shows no hint of genuine humility as of yet. If they are not showing off their wealth and going "Oh I'm not rich!" they are trying to show off their knowledge/intellect/skill which money can buy. Either way, product or service, it still sickens me.
