Flex Culture

Time is something we could not stop nor we can rewind. I feel everything in this day and age are changing very rapidly, too fast in my own judgement. I am a millennials but I feel that I am not a part of the millennials, and I have been far left behind socially. There is no way for me to keep up with the 'happening' culture including the Flex Culture.

Flex

Verb

Definition: showing off one’s status, material wealth, or well-being.

Back then, I was thought to be humble, today's parents taught their children to flex. Humility might become an unknown word and obselete in the near future. The young adult, young parents, the kids, and some of the older generation are currently embracing this culture. I don't want to judge but I adamantly despise this culture. It is vain and unnecessary.

Is the new culture going to fits with the term of growth and maturity? The standards of growth and maturity might have changed to the current cultures and technologies, and I hope I won't be a lost cause who are lost in translation.

First and foremost, hopefully I will not be the same with the world just like the Romans 12 told us:
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans 12:2‭-‬3 KJV

Mother

The bond that a child develops with his mother can never be severed. You grew as an organism inside her for nine months. She carried you and sustained you, sharing her sustenance with you through your umbilical cord. When you are born the cord is severed. It is never severed in her heart. That bond lasts forever. As we grow up we become our own people and may come to forget that woman who nurtured and loved us. But remember this, she will never forget you and never stop loving you. Source:  https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poems/family/mother/ A single mother of three just visited us this week, she is just 25 and she has 5 yo, 2 yo, and 2 months old daughters. There were lots of energy in the house, there were never a quite time on the daytime. Their mother has no time to rest, to nap, to have her me time. My husband said to me, the good thing about being a grandparent is they can return their grandchildrens when they become too much, but not for the parent, the parent can't forsa...

Inorganic

The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled. Tao The Ching Chapter 7

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...
