(35,096 posts)The definition of 'successful' as it is pushed by the people in charge will leave people alone, disturbed, angry, and paranoid; but hey, they're sitting on tops of stacks of cash, their subordinates, and their yes-men, so it was all worth it, right? Right?

(10,597 posts)... success means being a member of the 1% club? If it means looking down on anyone not in the club? If it means having a cold heart for anything but self and money?
I don't accept their definition of "success." There can be no success where all are not equal. Where all are not able to feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Where all cannot find a job to support themselves and their families. Where there is unequal justice under the law.
I , for one, do not accept their definition of "success."
