We all long for things, it is the hedonistic liefestyle (witnessed in The Great Gatsby) that we all enjoy. For example the good majority of my pay check goes on going out drinking buying clothes etc. . . very little goes on the more mondane things such as books etc. . .
If you are reading this, it is more than likely that you are in the top 2% of the worlds population in terms of capital wealth. Yet we are always wanting more. And to be honest we will get what we want. Not that this is bad of course, it is what we know. In Africa, living like they live is what they know. Just like speaking a language. It would feel wierd for us to go live in a mud hut and eat just rice and water all the time, and vice versa for an African to come live in our society.
I do not feel bad for the way we live in society yet we get these activists going mental at us for have two tv's in our houses. . . What is wrong with this? I want more tv's I actually want more stuff... I am content with my belongings but heck I would like more...
I have nothing wrong with activists . . . but I despise the fact that they condone me for wanting more. My family have always donated money to charities it just really grinds my nipples seriously.
Back to business though it is because of the capitalistic and hierarchical society we live in that this is the way things our, always wanting more - to climb the ladder of society the programmes we see on TV mtv cribs for example all fabulous houses. . .
And I do not condemn this in fact this is what I want to climb
I want to climb this pyramid that we live in and BE at the top, a fat cat in society and live the high life
I want this I want that. . . But one things for sure we will always be wanting more, and yes wherever we are on this ladder I believe money should be donated to charaties and that to whatever an individual feels appropriate but I do not want to be condemned for climbing the hypothetical ladder and enjoying my hedonistic lifestyle.
Lifes for enjoying! relax
