[Lothar]

Resolve to find ways to create personal success even if the world crumbles around you. Our society may be going to hell, our population becoming increasingly simple-minded, our government more totalitarian, etc. You don't need to follow the crowd. Do the things that are of value to you. Provide for yourself and then give back to society in the ways that are best suited to your gifts and talents.

You are an individual. See yourself as that and nothing more. See others as individuals and evaluate them as that and nothing more. Racism, bigotry and class envy cannot exist when we don't lump ourselves together into some kind of collective. Be the best individual you can be.
