All of us are racing against time. We are always chasing after what we want most within the shortest time frame. Thing is, are what we are chasing for forever worth our efforts? At the end of the day, do we sit down, take a reflection and feel accomplished?
Because if what I, for instance, is chasing for is worth everything, why do i feel more tired than accomplished and happy at the end of the day?
Have we all gotten our priorities wrong while fighting after our material wants?

What have all of us been doing to ourselves; fighting for things that would be due for the trash can in a few years down the road? Slaves to material goods.

Phones are the most typical example. when we were just toddlers, a toy telephone that would play out cute sounds at each button pressed could make our day. Then we wanted a phone, any phone; even if there was no color. The fact that it was a REAL phone could make our heads swell in front of our classmates. Slowly we wanted the colored ones, and then the smartphones. We are always chasing after the new models, the better ones, the faster processing ones. From i would die to have a phone, we now adopt the if its not the newest model, and if it lags i dont want it attitude.

I'm no saint. I go for stuffs that satisfy my needs and wants too. Between a chocolate that costs $1.00 and one that costs $2.50, i'm picking the $2.50 one, because i believe in paying for value. if its more expensive it has to be better. But i guess i draw the line somewhere. i wont pay 2000000 for a bag if i can get it for 20. COMEON NO ONE WOULD. no one in the right state of mind would anyway, unless he/she is a huge fan of the 2000000 bucks bag.

but at the end of the day, i wonder, for what are we doing all these for?
