"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Hmmm, good point. Giving up materialism is one of the big tenets of Buddhism too and if we weren't so in debt for all that "stuff", life would be much more stress-free if not happier.

8. Give up on your need to impress others.

If the gadgets or material things are really important to you, regardless of what others think then at least you alone own that need rather than having it thrust upon you by nose-in-the-air neighbors.
