Status

Why do some people want to
drive in a big flashy car?
Or live in a huge mansion or castle.
Or wear expensive exclusive brands.

For some extra comfort?
To show off their riches?
To gain social status?

What is status anyway?
It depends on the criteria
used to determine status.

Modern-day society often focuses
on superficialities and riches.
It, as well as the media, put
a lot of emphasis on money
or on material possessions.

But do money and material riches
determine your status?

Status in the eyes of Peace
has little to do with materialism.
Here status means the level
of peace you are and you do.

Here status means the degree of caring
about people and about Nature.
So, spending less money on material riches
and doing more for care and peace
boosts your so-called cosmic status.
A status that remains important
even when you have hardly a cent.
