People nowadays suffer in the missing of universal values. Egoism, accelerated lifestyle, consumer society without limits, growing atheism suggest a new era, where people must focus only on themselves, their own life, they became Gods of themselves without any universal values (about this topic see the works of Elemér Hankiss).
Instead of posting some boring Facebook - yearbooks with all my pictures from this year I made a list of gratitude. Gratitude for God and all the people, who contributed, helped me also in this year. This list is my universal value, an abstraction that is higher than anything that our society can offer.
Thanks for You all:
