their means? Mostly everyone out there doesn't need all the things that they have. They live in extreme excess (and in debt). Why do average teens have blackberries, all these designer clothes, cars, and lead lifestyles which are really fake and what not, when they really don't need any of it, and later complain that they don't have enough money?
I mean, do we all honestly believe that we NEED the biggest and the latest everything?
Don't we realize that we could get diagnosed with something tomorrow, and die, and we won't even be conscious anymore of all the things we have accumulated in this life?
All the effort, credit cards, ways we made money, jobs, stress, etc, will be forgotten and for nothing.
So why do we still do it?
Are we that stupid?
Also, we're in economically rough times, yet people continue to live like they're the Rockerfellers, they just charge it all up on plastic.
For us, Americans, I guess success is beauty, designer clothes, nice cars, and fancy toys.
Also look at 90% of the avatars especially for girls on here. They're all trying to be someone they're not, with fake hair, fake faces, or they pic avatars that look smart, sophisticated, and they all try to live up to some sort of a phony image.
The guys either try looking like superstuds, or like they're the next Dr.Phil.
Do we really live in a culture of illusion and BS?
I think so, even right down to the average person, answering on yahoo answers out of all places. It's just stupid.
We all think that we have to strive for perfection, whatever that may be, but I think it's dumb.
Ever go to a high school function or a prom?
I speak no further.
Yeah but if ALL people do is "keep up with the Joneses," then what are they doing to contribute to solving world problems? Nada, zilch. How can anyone respect people like that?
It's gross.
