You sound like a man complaining about the fact so only the rich can fly
airplanes back in 1920's right before somebody took this air transport market to a
new level. It's called scaling up. You start simple business, keeping your
overhead small so that the limited market of wealthy can bring you enough
profits to create new products that will expand the market to more and more
people. By the way, the richest man in history John Rockfeller has always
considered his mission to produce and move oil in such a cost-effective way that he can
create cheap oil for every body who need it.

Beside, didn't Darwin said that variation is a key to evolution? If everyb
ody were alike, there would be no evolution and therefore no new market to open.

The more you love, the more you can love-and the more intensely you love.
Nor is there any limit on how many you can love.
If a person had time enough, he could love all of the majority who are decent
and just.
