Well, whatever you want to say. I guess all success is meaningless without failure. What are you getting at? I'm a bad guy because I enjoy the fruits of my labor? You profess to lead more pure, thoughtful life? Actually, you are no different than any other philosopher or publication-hungry academic. You are not above me. Telling yourself I'm bad because I enjoy what I've earned doesn't make it true. It just is a way to make you feel better about yourself and situation.
