post#2 (Status That Last Forever)

From my point of view, i think that people differ in thinking and reacting according to their own traditions and communities which has a great influence on the way that people think of things. One of these things is status which indeed people think of it differently due to the many factors such as society, environment, surrounding people (family, relatives, and friends). However, in my society, a decent status is simply when the person well educated and wealthy. Yet, not all people think in the same way, others deem that the person who has a superior quality of personality such as virtue and principles is in good status. In fact, this is might be true for some cultures and this is sounds about just right to me. Unfortunately, my parents used to tell me that the money is everything which gives you the authority to have the power and the respect from others. As a matter of fact, most people in my society think in the same way as my parents. But I believe that money is everything and nothing which means that money easy comes and easy goes. However, the virtue and principles cannot be lost that easy which it born with you and remains after you die to pass to the next generation. This shows that I aspire to status that stays forever instead of the status that can be lost with the first collapse.
