Material World
When was the last time you looked down at someone because of what they were wearing? Or what car they were driving? according to their social class? Or depending on how rich they were? Sadly, we all do it at a time or another, don’t we? Not because we mean it…It's just another norm forced by our society. We have become so materialistic that we judge people by what's outside, completely forgetting about the soul that’s in, the much more complex human being with all the different and unique emotions, thoughts, beliefs and ideas. I'm not saying that looks don’t matter, they do, and I'm not saying that money is not important. Most of the time, it is. I'm not judging you if you like Chanel, Cartier or Porsche, a lot of us do. I'm just saying, that if we look closely, if we give a chance to what's inside, we'll realize how naive and shallow we are, caring about the outside…Just a thing to think about..

It does seem that each generation becomes more and more materialistic. Perhaps our generation will be able to nip that in the bud and pass on the more important things to the next generation.
Sad to say, I agree with you and Sarah. What's even worse is, I for one - wouldn't say I "envy" those that are more fortuante. But I do wish I could dress better than what I do. Shop at nicer stores. Drive a nicer car. Even live in a nicer neighborhood. But, I guess when it comes down it, it's like what Sheryl Crow says in her song, Soak Up The Sun "it's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got."

Sarah>>True, people don'y see what's important anymore..
Alex>>I agree..It's very true that we always want to be better, but i guess we are lucky to have the more important things in life like family, friends, peace of mind.. and a lot more blessings..
