Life is brutally unjudgemental - you should not be wary of life as it deals with you according to the measure of your being.
It also does the same for everyone including your family. Don't worry about what they're saying about you behind your back. Fear for them and the bed they make for themselves.

Grammar question!

I suppose it's a mistake many people make mistaking that they are refering to a present context but in fact they are really talking about a past event?

We are no longer a refined people.

If I ask you, "What IS the longest you have held your breath," I'm not just asking you about your past - a question in this form speculates you are (or about) to hold your breath (again).

If I ask you, "What WAS the longest you have held your breath," it infers no context to the present - it is a question, specifically, about your past regardless of the current moment.

These hair-splitting differences are no longer given regard today.

A court of law regards our common language as "Babble Speak." It is viewed as vulgar and is the primary reason it should be represented by legal council.

Grammar question!

Your question is postulated in the present-tense but intended in the past-tense form.

What's your longest ever car trip?

Is there a longest "ever?" What do you measure it with? Consider where "ever" should be placed within the sentence. Is it needed to clarify the question?
Also, when formally writing, you do not contract words.

Example 1.
"What's" is a contraction of "What is." This question is posed if the person is currently undertaking a car trip.

Example 2.
"What was," is a question based on formerly established events.

The true form of your question should look like this: "What was your longest car trip, ever?"

I would like to lose myself from the burdon of this age with a time that was a little more clear.

Happy 2018 brother. Looking forward to another one of your You Tube music vids.
