I agree with what you're saying here Jose. There is far too much petty minded thinking behind most people's outlook on life.

For me it's about getting back to basics. Have I brought love and positive things to the people around me? Have I contributed positively to the world? Have I reduced my negative impact on people and the environment, to the best of my ability?

Exactly, the human society hardly wants to pay attention to details and this is definitely crazy, the importance attached to a whole lot of ephemeral stuff like status is absolutely astonishing and whenever I survey I hope to well, change the world with speaking and living the example of what I'm actually implying. In earnest there's nothing in life that's worth more than happiness and rest of mind and that's why we must elevate one another Irrespective of their status change.
Merry Christmas to you too and your family 🙂
