nwavguy, I agree. You touched on the status symbol argument, too.
What's sad is how people get upset at how inexpensive great audio is today. I grew up with LPs, 8-tracks and cassettes. All quite flawed. But if you look at today's digital from a perspective 30 years ago, digital seems like a miracle. Not only are most of the source problems solved, digital is incredibly cheap. Great players under $50, you can get used discs for $1 or $2, and you can put thousands of albums onto a five pound laptop you can take anywhere.
Great audio has never cost less and you'd think this would be cause for celebration. But no. People are angry because their status symbol works the same as everything else.

We often view a luxurious life as a life with big houses and nice cars; however, I do not believe that this is luxury. I believe that luxury is having things like clean drinking water, hot showers, and safe food. We often take these small things for granted, but these are the things that create a high standard of living. I avoid portrayed "luxurious" items because I believe I already have a luxurious life.

Reflection. “Don’t be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall. Every day make a new beginning” (St. Francis De Sales). Be your own best friend, because no one can do that for you.
Prayer. Lord, help me to be a little kinder to myself. I need to lighten up a little.

The saddest part that gets me about these stories are the "living". How many of us pay too much attention to hatred, nasty politics and having money, money and more money. No manner what you can't take it with you and you never know how your next day will be, if you have a next day. Many of us follow the crowd of cruelness and not the road of happiness and treating one another as humans should be treated. We all know it's diseases out there but we're here and long as we're here we should treat one another with all the respect we can pull out of us. Her story is very, very sad but we who have typed here are still breathing, let's cherish life from this moment on. Many blessings to her family..

If you're about to turn 59 like I am, and think about the life that has transpired since I was 41, I am at once profoundly lucky to have gotten another 18 years and counting, and sad that there are people who don't get to fulfill the promise of a full lifetime. My condolences to the family of one who, from my viewpoint, has died so young.
