Obsession with Luxury, The Demise of Humanity
What is it about our attitude today?
We want it all and we want it now! Whatever happened to waiting and working hard for the luxury items we want?
It is this obsession of luxury that is changing the definition of the pursuit of happiness.
Let’s all stop and ponder what luxury is for a moment:
For some that means a big house packed with “toys” and others it is a luxury vehicle.
Well, my friend, all those things you crave in life will do this:
1. De-Humanize you – The pursuit of happiness has become more like the pursuit of stuff. The obsession of chasing down “stuff” has deteriorated personal connection. Whatever happened to people connecting with each other and trying to make the world a better place?
2. Break the bank – The pursuit of stuff will not only de-humanize you it will sink you into a debt hole so deep that your great-grandchildren will be left trying to dig you out of debt.
Folks, you need to know that stuff will not make you happy, people will. If you are pursuing stuff, you are missing out on something much more important, connections with people.
Maybe, just maybe, if we all stopped trying to buy more stuff we could all be a little happier and the world might just follow us on this and become a place of harmony, co-existence and acceptance.
Perhaps if we all stopped our obession to acquire more stuff, we could all achieve our dreams!
