One word to describe the inhabitants of this world?
Earthlings? Social animals? Human beings? Homo sapiens?all alive and kicking?
community? A group of people living together ,giving and taking benefits of each other, in other words a “group”?
Im sorry to say but non of these clicked my mind when I thought about the people of this world. But the one word that striked my mind was “MATERIALISTIC PEOPLE “ .

Men are valued not for what they are but for what they seem
to be.
Yes,today im writing about the money oriented people who have
overfilled this world. The world isn’t an area of luxury, lavishness, comfort,relaxation
and love anymore .it is just a place where individuals from their first breath
are treated on the basis of their prestige. Obviously a new born doesn’t have
any standing in the society so they are given the position of their parents. They
are loved and valued according to their parents position. We never adore a baby
of a lower standard or mediocre person as a higher standard and rich.
Not fair!
We are now more valued on what we wear, where we live, which
car we drive, which hottest gadget we own , what job our parents do,what is our
family background like.Yes,this is all we want to know about someone we decide
to manage networks with. We prefer well off people to be around us,to be called
our mates rather than those who truly can be our friends for life time !
This is not about me and you,its about our society and the attitude of the people here globally .
This is not about me and you,its about our society and the attitude of the people here globally .
I believe that people who are more self conscious,status conscious
or self-doubting generally are more avaricious
than those who have a higher level of self confidence. They are actually
insecure and
Under confident . They need a backup, a support ,a boost and
a help from those well offs.These people are dependent on others more than
themselves . More sure about other’s abilities than their. This is what makes them
materialistic.
US ALL actually.
We live in our desires rather than in our achievments.
And thn comes,the greatest greatest evil and weakness of the
society ,the most distructing step indeed which is that people usually make
wrong judgments. They support the people who are having a better standard as
they say “the well to do believe to be true”. No matter how damaging steps they
take for the society,how immoral things they do,how evil and wicked they are..
people always support them because of their prominence and importance in the
society ,because of their ranks and positions. Nobody really care about the
adverse effects these things are going to bring with them. It’s a long term destruction
though. It always amazes me when I see
such unfair actions by our so called LEADERS and HEADs and those who are given
authority over us.
We all should always pray that we don’t do any such thing , we
don’t hurt anyone with our unjust decisions,self made preferences and the greed
that is buried deep inside our souls never overcomeour try of being just with all .

It is hard not to be materialistic sometimes..in today's society but it is possible to regain and maintain your perspective.. cherish the things you have and try to live a better life, be a better person.
ReplyDeletei second that crystal.^^
DeleteBesides being materialistic and unjust are two dimensions of the same thing. once you start being materialistic,u become unjust automatically.
and being unfair is something im criticizing !
Lovely post.Thanks for ya comment.
ReplyDeleteFollow back.
thanks ^^
ReplyDeleteDone :)..
Hello.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a poor family. We did not have "materialistic" things because there just wasn't any spare money. In spite of our poorness, we never went hungry, there was always food on the table, even if it was just one meal a day, a roof over our heads and clothes on our backs. Our house was small and cramped. Everyone had to share a bedroom because we had a large family, but one thing I'll never forget is that even though we were poor, there was always an abundance of love in our house.
This life is tough and we work hard. We deserve to treat ourselves every now and then, but as my friend Crystal stated, it's all about finding balance. I never forget where I come from and even though my life now is not so much of a struggle as it was when I was younger, I strive to achieve all that I can be so I can now provide for my mom (who sacrificed so much for me) and my family.
Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking post. It reminds me of another post I commented on recently by my friend Irfan Sir.
In the meantime, thank you for showing an interest in Lovers' Cove Challenge #2. I have responded to your question. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Thoughts Of Beauty In The Stillness Of Dawn...
you're probbly one of those,who usually don't face the consequences of not belonging to the elite class. But sometimes,because of being mediocre, people are discouraged and snubbed. Espacially infront of those elite people,which never let them grow. lifestyle has changed. Now,people dont valye you on the basis of your love and behavious. Its just money and status that matters.
DeleteThank you so much for the appreciation ^^
and i found your challenge really interesting.
you'll soon find my entry there :)
Just stopping by again to wish you all the best on your special day. I hope it was one filled with lots of happiness, laughter and most importantly love. You sound very grown up for your age (smile).
DeleteBTW, there's still time to linkup for Lovers' Cove Challenge #2...you have until 10:00am Eastern (New York time) on Sat 30th June. The most recent person to linkup is my friend Suzy. If you're still interested in taking part, your 30 words or less must follow on in thought from what she has written. You can find her lines here... Click on the other links in the Linky too to see what everyone else has written. Hope you can make it.
Thank you so much :))
Deleteand i had such a good idea.. but i'm having trouble linking up :/
I wish there were tons more people who thought like you. Our leaders only go where the money is with no concern of the harm it is causing the general public. Yet a lot of people back them because either their money is involved or because they are uneducated. Growing up I was given nearly anything I wanted. Not because they had to do it, but because my parents wanted me to have a life that my biological mother could have never given me. One of the top things they taught me though was that money is dirty. That to become in love with it, will cause me more harm than anything. Too bad this isn't something that is taught much anymore.
ReplyDeleteNow all we want to do is earn money and have a luxurious life.
DeleteAnd we love our money more thn lives.
yes,i agree to u totally.
Thanks alot ^
well it is nice to see my friends Andy and Crystal making it here :) Hiiii :)
ReplyDeletewell, the thing is that we love being artificial and fake... we no longer want honesty and truth... we prefer a BMW bought on looted money but we dont like our bicycle bought on our hard-earned money... but it the end it all comes down to our own self... we are responsible only for our own self... we should do whatever we believe in, and not be influenced by the surroundings... sigh...its very hard to do... a thought provoking post...and i think i should verify your age as i very much doubt a teenager can write these things :P
Agreed ..
Deletewe are no more true to ourselves,our nation and our people.
We prefer getting the best things out of wrong ways.
we are in a race where we always want to have an uper hand on others,to show we are superior.
Yes,haha.. im a teenager. turnng 17 tomorrow :p
Thanks :D
wow...so happy birthday in advance..and many many happy returns of the day...a cake will be great :P

Deleteaaaaaa.. doesn't sound good :p
Deletebtw i bake well,come over :D
aaaaaa.. doesn't sound good :p
Deletebtw i bake well,come over :D
People are to be loved, money is to be used. It sounds cliched but that's how 'most' of us base our actions upon.
ReplyDeleteYup,but that should be changed,no?
Deletewe should change our priorities,love people and use money .
Thanks for the comment lubaina :D
