ENTRAPMENT IN DISGUISE

In life we are told how great life can be if we upgrade our possessions and how bigger leads us to a happier lifestyle. Cars are built to go faster but the speed limits stay the same. We are told that we should have more then what our parents have because we've had more opportunities and an easier life, but where does this leave those who are content with living a simple life. If possession shape us then are we all shallow minded or are we just following what seems to make sense that more is better. Those who are famous are made to look like super stars by the media and are supposed to be role models to us mere mortals, but if you take away their publicists they would fade in the crowd. Is this entrapment of our feelings or just great marketing. How can we blame those who use our motivations against us knowing that they are only giving us what we crave. Maybe we sometimes need to take off our beer goggles which effect our mind with negative influences and focus more on how we can affect others in a positive way, which would help us reach a common goal worth reaching.
