At Lunar New Year, let me suggest an exercise. Scour your friends’ social media postings and messages. What are they posting about?
Showing off expensive watches, jewellery, and other luxuries? Posing at “7-star” hotels, private clubs, monster yachts, posh cars? Eating expensive meals, wearing exorbitant fashion, occupying the highest price seats in most sort-after concerts? In the company of celebrities? And when they are with “friends”, they are always in the middle in the front, the centre of attention?
Or having meals with family and friends? In the company of elderly relatives and neighbours? Showing off their decades-long old friends? Hiking with their buddies? Tasting or making traditional treats that are full of memory but not necessarily expensive? And when they show off their group photos, they may be in the back, or the periphery?
Which type of friends would you rather keep?
