MONEY ORIENTED MINDS !!


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 .
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 .
love J !

  1. 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.

      Besides 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 !

  3. Hello.
    I 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!

    1. 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.
      Thank you so much for the appreciation ^^

      and i found your challenge really interesting.
      you'll soon find my entry there :)

  4. 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.

  5. well it is nice to see my friends Andy and Crystal making it here :) Hiiii :)

    well, 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

  6. People are to be loved, money is to be used. It sounds cliched but that's how 'most' of us base our actions upon.
