The stupid life!

Ok a winge!
Do you feel stupid?
Do you watch the western world and wonder why?

I do....

I wonder are we any better off?
I mean of course we are but our families are now second to our jobs, second to the new house or car, second to what people think of us.

I am constantly aware of this and do not allow this to be so but how many people do you know who are a slave to work? a slave to the next big thing?

How many of us need the next new gadget or complain we are broke yet couldn't possible turn off pay tv?
We'd rather go to work for an extra hour to pay for the right to watch ridiculous Americanised tv shows which numb our brain and help us feel worthless.

Thrid world countries have NOTHING! yet they have the most amazing familie connections, their relationships are strong and they would do anything to help one another.

Surely we can take a leaf out of their book and slow down. Stop the chase for the all mighty dollar and reevaluate what is really important.
Why is that we need to get a disease to find out what it is we really care about?

I'd love for people to put family first, to stop the constant drive of consumerism and to enjoy the small things in life.

Learn to live in the moment and see the blessings around you.
