Materialism

Tesla cars, Rolex watches, Yeezy shoes, huge houses.

We have a tendency to consider material possessions over the reality of what should be valued.

It's a system that eats us from inside out as the material pursuit of self-esteem reduces self-esteem. A value system where the possessions and the social image this generation projects are both socially destructive and self-destructive. Flexing and flaunting to the internet world about the fancy purchases we made. Trapped in debt.

An orbit of the quality of things and how much money we have.

A result from the materialistic generation associated with anxiety, depression and broken relationships. Our material yearnings are a failed attempt to satisfy our needs to feel special and wanted.

Material possessions are temporary, memories aren't.

“People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.” - Spencer W. Kimball

The void of loneliness left unfulfilled and dying from lack of connection. Materialism creates an unhappy heart.

Love is overlooked by people, or discarded as lesser than other forms of love. Respect, admiration, and comradery are also forms of love. Romantic love, the general idea evoked by that four-letter word, can easily be considered the most elusive form of love.

Love comes in different forms, not by materialistic possessions.
