We all know the tragedy of the Titanic. How horribly and fast the ship sank.
What most people ignore is that most rich men did know that they had to abandon the ship, but their first thought and priority was to lock the cabins to prevent steerage passengers from looting them.
That is, so many first class passengers (some of whom did not survive) were more preoccupied with their own wealth, than with their own life.
Forgetting that if they are dead, they cannot use all those things.
Forgetting that those valuable things, those jewels, those incredibly expensive items were ending up on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Which makes me think this: does wealth make life worth-living? Was it worth it?
Did worshipping money to that extent make these men's life worth-living? Meaningful?
