Greed of the Society
Saturday, December 2nd, 2006Bigger.
Better.
More.
and More. and More. and More …

In a society filled with greed of the insatiable wants, how can one learn the simplicity of just enough?
.
The city is not-so-big, but the minds are all brainwashed with a big-ness so over-valued with constant hammering of walls painted with glimmering promotions that, supposedly, represents what the observators need.
.
Yet with this obvious trickery to subject the so called independent intelligence, how can the developed minds obliged to the weak instructions so blindedly? Is it really that hard to just say "thanks, but no thanks" ?
.
True, the economy keeps the world going and growing. But when the account balances are getting higher and the corner offices are being inhabited, has anyone ever attempted to stop, just be for a while as human beings, and reflect on the growth of our spirituality and morality?
.
How can cruelties and tyrranical forces be justified only with mere numbers on your pocket? Have us humans really not learn from history? Is it possible to repeat the same inhumane acts just because we’re oh-so-human?
.
I heard from somewhere that humans are the only species of God’s creations that would kill others that belong to the same species. Are we really that demeaning from the animals? Yet how can we still endeavour to call it our animal behaviours?
.
What is acceptable and what is not in this Society?
What’s your view on our current society’s state, whether it’s economically, spiritually or morally?
