Here is an explanation I found online of 'keeping up with the Jonses'. I hope it's helpful: <br />"Keeping up with the Joneses" is an idiom in many parts of the English-speaking world referring to the comparison to one's neighbor as a benchmark for social caste or the accumulation of material goods. To fail to "keep up with the Joneses" is perceived as demonstrating socio-economic or cultural inferiority.Emily Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677150433232420065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-21525800425060742492018-01-24T13:04:52.743+00:002018-01-24T13:04:52.743+00:00Explain keeping up with Jones please.....

I have a tendency to compare myself with others and I have to keep reminding myself that God made each one of us unique, he hasn't made me to be like someone else. He wants me to be me. By the way, I watched Dead Poets when I was at Uni and loved it, although I was reduced to tears more than once. It's such a moving film.
