Why does personal development have to occur to/for all? Surely a desirable consequence of essentially “winning the lottery” is no longer having to live in accord with such assumptions....

Why be miserable over how we apparently, predominantly are?

Perhaps it's better to accept and operate in and/or around it to the best of one's talent stack?
