مؤشر البؤس البشري

معظم هؤلاء الناس يموتون وحيدا لذلك تخرج الثورة الأسوأ الذي لم يكن متوقعا - اليؤس البشري

Because no one ever went broke expecting the worst of people, which makes them behave accordingly. Most such people die lonely or spiritually destroyed, but not broke. And as you say, you can measure wealth. You can't measure companionship. You can't measure peace of mind. You can't measure affection. You can't measure satisfaction or contentment. So the people who like to get the highest score, who are usually pushy assholes, are the ones who also measure their lives in cash, or assets that can be converted to cash in a pinch
