Until we stop glorifying mediocrity and respect people who are doing legitimate jobs no matter their social status, until we understand that money is not to be worshipped and we show our children that integrity & a good name are essential, people will keep glamorizing criminals.

If you have good parents - never ever take it for granted.
If you have a good spouse - Let them know how much you appreciate them
If you have good friends- Nurture that relationship..
If you have a great boss- don't take advantage of access.
These are things money cannot buy

Most people will get a shade lighter because of reduction in the dose of UV light from the sun.
The sun here is not smiling at all.
