I’ve been thinking: How many of us aren’t actually driven by materialistic desires in the course of pursuing happiness? How does one weigh the significance of happiness and how simple or difficult it is to achieve something as ambiguous as this? I came across several blogs which are written by high school teenagers; there wasn’t any which has a “wish-list” that doesn’t include familiar objects like: Nikon DSLRs, a new hand phone, Chanel totes, MORE CLOTHES! Aldo heels and the list goes on. Why is it that some people see expensive things as must-haves? Things which are unattainable by current financial situations are regarded as ‘luxuries’. Whatever happened to truthfulness, honesty, love and time? Don’t they want more truthfulness and honesty in love and friendship? Don’t they want people to love them for who they are? Don’t they need time to fulfill their foolish desires? Then, why do our lives revolve only around the tangibles?
I’m still seeking for answers.

coz priceless things are usually intangible, people tend to have a tendency to measure tangible things, and not intangible things...=D...just my point of view...i stand to be corrected...you'll have to go on seeking answers, and tell me when you found out...=P
i think truthfulness n honesty in whatever relationship is one of da most important things in life..ppl tend to oversee such things cos many ppl take things for granted..its human nature and its cos da way of da world is brought up dat luxuries seem da most desirable..bt happiness shud be whatever we have in all relationships n ppl around us dat truly mean something to us:)
