Where is happiness?

Here's a simple statement : What do people living in luxury, or any people buying stuff, really want? Isn't it : a positive feedback from others?! Isn't it what makes us happy in the end?! And that is the meaning of life?! We buy expensive cars and clothes because we want to be admired, and loved, and respected by others through an image we project, and whatever if this image is completely fake.
(If there was only one human being left on the planet, will that be a priority to buy an expensive car?! I don't think so! All those things we buy are mainly to impress others, we don't really need it.)
So this way, totally set into the ego, is hardwork and lies, it requires means and money, and a playbook of fake identities. It's the way of our modern societies, we live into that mud from birth, and like fish unconscious of the water they live in, we don't see a way out.

So, how to change a circle into a spiral?

If happiness equals the positive feedbacks and connections we get from others, what about this way to get it : simply respect the others, and respect youreself.
It is sane and honest.
Wouldn't that work?!
I'm pretty sure it works, and it's free, it's a choice here and now to live well with oneself amongt the others, accepting differences, getting interested in other people's visions of life, knowing and keeping oneself in high respect too.
Wouldn't that be a huge change for humanity if everyone could be aware of that simple fact. You can get the happiness you need in your life as a human being simply by respecting yourself and respecting others (one must fully understand the meaning of respect, that is not having negative, destructive emotions toward anything or anyone).

So i share here that knowledge, that is essential to me, then it's to each one of us to make that choice, that shift, for the best, do whatever you want.
