37 cars

I feel lost and out of place here, in this land where I was born, amongst the people whose culture I share but unfortunately, whose belief I no longer hold.

Being a believer of RBE has made me see the measures of achievement differently. I never did look up to wealth as a measure of success but now I know it's just wrong to do so.

Nobody should be judged by how much money they have or what kind of car they drive and how big the house they live in. Nobody should be allowed to own 37 cars and have them kept in a basement just because they can afford to do so. Not when others are struggling. Not when those wasted resources could be used to feed a starving child or put him in school.
