This feeling is why I just don't get the petty quibbles and politics of humanity.
This life is only one we have so why not make it the best for everyone.What else is the point of life but to live to the fullest and help everyone else live to their fullest (happiest). You can't take it with you, there is no prize for dying with the most money or power.
The meaning of life is only what we want it to be.
The problem comes when a significant number of people believe, whether correctly or incorrectly, that acquiring more money/power/etc (and sometimes specifically more money than their neighbor, family member, rival peer, etc) is what will bring them the most happiness.
Actually it's probably more basic than that. Competing over scarce resources brings out the best and worst in us as biological entities.
