Materialism is the only form of distraction from true bliss....

I'm not a pessimistic person, but I've had some thoughts I'd been meaning to put on paper for a while now. It has to do with a gradual distaste I've been building regarding society, partly because I'm as much a part of it as the people I criticise. Here goes nothing:

MATERIALISM....

It's amazing how impressionable we are as man. We're told what to want.
"Oh, this is cool NOW!"
"That is soo LAST YEAR!"

Materialism is the epicenter of both our society and what I believe to be the continuous destruction of it. Focusing on a person's qualities is soo LAST YEAR. Character, integrity, beliefs, all out the window. We discount so much when we focus on image. Image is only one dimension of a human being, yet we aknowledge it as most important in many situations.

Clicks of soceity are formed solely on image. Next time you're in the school cafeteria, look around. SECTIONS, GHETTOS, predetermined by judgemental behavior.

Nerds.
Jocks.
Punks.
Elitists.

We section ourselves solely on image so we can fit in?
All of us following this unwritten law of conduct that we must fit into the mold. All of these molds predetermined in one way or another.


Very few people really know who they are.
That is soo LAST YEAR.


What does it say about our connection to something, that one year we can think it is the best thing in the world, and the next, deny ever being connected to this faction, this trend. We change because we're told to. We're all tanning on the beach, rotating our bodies with the sun. Nobody wants to be left out. Everyone wants to be ahead of the curve.


I want to be BEHIND the curve.
I want to live in "LAST YEARS" world.......
