Because they burden me, as well as society with their ignorance.

They don't force their ignorance on you. If they are burdening you, then that is because you're letting them.

You could not listen. Or, if it bugs you so much, you could tell them what you really think.

Even If I do agree that money is not everything in life you have to admit that having it facilitate all sorts of stuff.

Access to good healthcare for instance.

As part of my mask (my real-life persona whatever you want to call it) I come off as someone optimistic and easygoing.

But sometimes when you're dealing with an asshole and you want something out of them you have to adjust your mask to them slightly.

Since they're not that easy to approach one somewhat effective manoeuvre that I use to get to them is finding a common target to criticize (since they love spending their time spewing acid about other people) so I can bond with them over that.

But I agree they tend to suck energy out of you.

When I see a weakness, I exploit it.

I'm a kind spirit but they tempt me. I enjoy taking advantage of people, but I refrain from doing so.

It sounds like they just annoy you. It's not really a burden on society. Starving kids in Africa will still be starving whether I'm grateful for my dinner or not.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate having stuff, but I don't think the stuff would be any more valuable if I struggle for it.

 You don't have more appreciation for the things you've worked harder to achieve due to the extra work and effort involved?

In fact, I'd say that not struggling is more beneficial to society. If you randomly find money, you're likely to randomly share it. If you feel like you struggled and worked for it, you're more likely to be entitled and stingy.

Not everything in life will be handed to you on a silver platter. There are times where you may have to fight for what you want.

The person who has learnt many lessons from their struggles in life is far more likely to succeed at fighting for what they want than he or she who has never had to struggle for anything.

Not really. I suppose I appreciate things more when faced with the prospect of losing it, but my appreciation doesn't change the value of it. And it's more just not really thinking about it until it's gone. Then when it's gone, I adapt. 

I guess it could be annoying to see someone not value the things that you value.
