富不过三代

first of all.. I'm back.. I just needed a place to write down my thoughts I'm happily married now, to the woman of my dreams. I am a lucky guy after all! However I'm still trying to make a career for myself! がんばって! So I have always been interested in the phrase 富不过三代. For someone to coin this phrase, this phenomenon must have presented itself many times. So why is this so? Why do humans keep making this same.. mistake? During lunch today I was browsing reddit and came upon a beautiful(because it was efficiently concise) comment "Men.. are born of necessity. They aren't different because of the year. They are different because they needed to be. Hard men did hard things so that their sons could have the opportunity to be soft men." Mind. Blown.
