No One's Got it all


People are materialistic. Its just how we are. But sometimes i wonder if we don't go overboard just a little bit. Magazines, and billboards, and movies, and TV all tell us that we aren't good enough. They scream out to people saying, be skinnier, prettier, manlier, be this or that. They seem to taunt us with these never-ending images, telling us to be what they want us to be, instead of who we are. Always telling us to change, that who we are isn't good enough. There are a hundred kinds of toothpaste made just to whiten teeth, dozens of hair products bouncing around words like shinier, stronger, and other crap like that. And then, when you go to use one, it's like you look and look for a change, some improvement, but even if something changes just the slightest bit it's not good enough STILL. And you need to go buy more. It's this infinate cycle of consumerism, but instead of finding a positive way to sell the only thing that this surrounds people with is their own fears, their own insecurities taunting them and bringing them down. The fact is that people will only see what they want to see. So maybe we should stop focusing so much on stuff....a good idea...in theory.
