Money help: I’m tired of things like money, cars, fashion, tv, movies, media and how they warp countless individuals perception of what matters. - Help.com

I’m tired of things like money, cars, fashion, tv, movies, media and how they warp countless individuals perception of what matters.

Why is it so many people distract themselves with this stuff and waste their lives away consumed by these monsters? People think that to be attractive they have to go and get plastic surgery, or waste their earnings on Ug bootz. People concern themselves with politics they know nothing about, saying one person is right and the other is wrong. They parade around with their ruthless masquerades, weaving a veil over as many eyes as they can.

Walking down streets, I witness many people ungrateful for the simple things like the air they breathe, the water which quenches them, the ground which carries them. Rather they expect they can’t be happy with such things, they want to live in a hyperreal bubble. They bask in the glamor of movie stars, people no different from themselves, who deal with the same annoying problems in life, who live no better, no worse. Like blinded fools, these creatures the same as me want to stand on a pedestal above their neighbors. Creatures choosing not to live, but rather to die. Not to learn, live and love, but rather to lie… asleep in a pool of bandits and thieves. Stealing ideas and gifts, claiming them as their own inventions. Countless many so full of hesitations, afraid to admit this truth.

A truth that we live as buttons, waiting to be pushed by some wandering finger…

Okay, I don’t feel like writing anymore for now. Just felt like putting the pen to the paper for some reason.

YES! I feel the same way. The people that can’t appreciate the life that they’re in. They look to the material objects of the world. Fall into the conformist culture. America’s a society based around gratification - it’s sickening.

Ah yes? I haven’t really been out of country, so i wouldn’t know that much. I would suspect that in places such as Africa, where the living standard is much less than here, people would have a bit more appreciation for what they have

Yes, any place where theres people can it can show. There are a small amount of places and people where it’s not prevalent though.

It’s called grazing in complacency. Neitzsche noticed it 100 years ago. People complain, but they really aren’t complaining–they are just making small chitchat. Small talk.

The average person really isn’t that smart. So we cannot be surprised when they act ignorantly.

We are only one this earth for a short period. So enjoy all of the materialistic thigns you can while you still have time.

What is wrong with complancy and gratification? Or for that matter being in a conformist culture if you’re able to conform and in fact quite enjoy it. Not everyone needs to be an anarchist.

In places like this most would absolute enjoy to be in a society of gratification, indulgence, and heck even mysogynism, were it to provide the benefits of America vis-a-vis American society.
