1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Its nice to have a good house, a good car and a good watch, but is it that significant enough that people actively discuss this online with fellow lawyers as to how they should spend their bundles of cash? Is this what I will be reduced to in the future as well?
I make decent enough money, I still have a Timex on my wrist, a motorcycle that I love and an iPhone 13. I have never felt excluded, neither had the urge to overspend what I can not afford. Why do people here so frequently do the opposite? What about love? What about Friends? What about family? Is money everything?
If it is, then God help me. I cant wait to leave this profession.
