For women, it is usually the attractive that is the first to be gone. Our society only considers young women to be attractive.
Intelligence can be taken by injury or stroke.
Success is the most fragile of all. Success can disappear overnight. Your company may go bankrupt, you may get fired by a boss who spreads incorrect rumors of your incompetence, a new concept may make your life's work irrelevant, the government may decide to stop funding your research.

Sometimes I think that we should make everyone spend a week living in a homeless shelter.

I do not want to stop the rich from enjoying and spending their money. I just think that the rich can afford to pay a little more in taxes.
I do not understand why anyone would take from the poor to give to the rich.
