I have noticed, that after being elite for about 10 years, and not being elite anymore, and now that I dont' have the privelages, I just don't care. I worried about all these things for years, and now that I know I can't have them, they all seem so silly, because the plane leaves at the same time, and I get there at the same time. And once I get out of the plane, I'm just as happy.

It's all relative. But it is all sorta silly when you step out of the box and look at it all!
