You don’t reach enlightenment when you become a billionaire y’know.

Pretty much the opposite, to be frank.

They can sure define the word “enlightenment” to be whatever they want. However, the spiritual concept traditionally referred to as “enlightenment” has been pretty consistent for millennia. Traditionally enlightened people would carry the traits of being at peace, able to experience joy through suffering, and having heightened sense of empathy and connectedness to those around them. All the billionaires i read about are selfish, miserable people with poor emotional intelligence and an insistence to project blame away from them; these are not traits of the enlightened
