In this world, only those who have never made money on their own, rely on their parents or husbands for support, and consider themselves privileged will have a strong sense of self-esteem.

The more one has earned money through their own efforts, the less they feel the need to pretend. What’s the point of pretending? Everyone has gone through hardships; the money earned is often hard-won. Those who haven’t relied on connections or been supported by others have fought their way through on their own, and there’s no need to put on airs.

Unfortunately, many lowly individuals enjoy seeing others pretend, like to hear them speak confidently from a high position, and the more they pretend, the more they feel that person is impressive. To put it bluntly, you’re just pathetic, and you deserve to pay the tuition you shouldn’t have to.
