At 12-years-old, he had internalized that fines and penalties only matter in terms of the cost, not social order/safety/conservation, etc.
Rich people just see the world differently...and often at the expense of others/the community.

Consider that to 99% of the global population, virtually everyone on this forum has an income and lifestyle that puts them in the top 1% worldwide. Yes...we're the rich people.
It's true, wealth is relative to the local cost of living, but we all have the choice of where and how to live.
