It’s not too often that I bother to complain about anything. Normally, I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself and move on in life.
But sometimes you can’t. Sometimes you have to take the time to try to open people’s eyes, and that’s what I intend to do.
I don’t care how many people read this. It could be one, it could be 10, it could be 1000. It doesn’t bother me. If, through writing this, I can make one person think for a moment, I’ll be happy.
So let’s get to it.
With everyone out buying the new iPhone 5, or new designer
brand clothes..It got me thinking. Why do we actually buy that stuff?
Generally, the sole motivation of people buying shit is to impress random
strangers that they’ll probably never see again.
People place so much value in what job or marks others have,
how much money they have in the bank, the car that they own and the clothes
that they wear.
What people don’t realise is that it’s shit like that that
limits them from being who they actually are. As a person, you’re not defined by the type of phone that you have, or the figures in your bank statement, or the car that you drive, or the clothes that you wear. You’re just judged by it.
Sure, they might look good. But they don’t define you as a person.
Right now, I think that we all need to take a massive reality check. Sure, we can have these material things..But there’s a big distinction between having something and being owned by it.
As human beings, it’s our actions that define us, not what
we have.
