Everyone has paid the price to be where they are?
Nope. People who are born into wealth, did not pay any price. In fact wealth is made/created by exploiting the labor and ideas of others, so not even the wealthy paid the price, but made others pay the price for them.
You couldn’t entertain that their “price “ just didn’t involve money?
@Howitstarts23 Just used as an example. Not all prices paid are in money. For instance, in the above example, who did the labor is not just about money, but who actually did the work.
@snytiger6 it’s a great example, I was just pondering envy, jealousy type feelings and trying to internalize a way to ‘justify’ someone who may be a target. Another example would be a lottery winner...
