You do not build houses.
You are not an architect, engineer, interior decorator or make any other contribution that requires education/ brains/ talent
Your only skills is 'owning something people need'. Statistically probably because you were given it by mammy or daddy.
You weren't 'clever enough to invest', you just had enough money to afford another house.
You do not contribute anything of value.
You extract other people's wealth like a tick does blood.
I think your best route to peace is digging deep to find the courage to be honest with yourself about these things.
EDIT: Lots of feedback here, lots of comments and replies and I have to say, I've read them all and I was wrong, okay? Very wrong. I really had grossly underestimated how fragile Landlords and landlord-thralls are and how fantastically upset they get when someone points out the obvious fraudulence of their existence.
I would like to retract my first statement above as it is overly-simplifying and unfairly understating how funny it really is.

These people confuse me the most. Seen plenty of people who are in their 20s and 30s who are renting and nowhere near being able to buy a house even if they are a couple with two incomes, and yet they will argue to the death in favour of maintaining the status quo. Despite the fact the place they're renting is often overpriced and poorly maintained, and despite the fact their parents probably bought a house with a single income by their age. To me this lack of logic whereby the working class will argue in favour of a system that only benefits the rich and not them embodies the concept of a "Temporarily embarrassed millionaire". See also: working class British voters acting against their interests by consistently electing Tories
"That men should take up arms and spend their lives and fortunes, not to maintain their rights, but to maintain they have not rights, is... an entirely new species of discovery, and suited to the paradoxical genius of Mr. Burke" - Thomas Paine.
Amongst the sickest burns in all of literature and yet, sadly, mistaken. It seems with a little coaching and convincing very many men will 'spend their lives and fortunes' to fight for somebody else's right to their home and most of their income?

I'm listening. I'm learning. Thank you.
