One of the things I like to do is voice my opinion, even when no one else wants me to. Which is most of the time... But since I'm part of this blog you have no choice but to keep reading! Unless you want to turn away now...
No? Still here? Okay, let's do this!
Materialism. It's frowned upon in society. If you love something enough that you wonder what your life would be without it, a lot of people find that conceited. I'm afraid I can't agree. Loving your material possessions isn't an inherent bad, it just makes you human. If you came home to find your house on fire and saw all of the things that you worked so hard to attain go up in smoke, chances are you would be devastated right? Anyone would be. And if not being materialistic means not taking pride in you personal purchased prizes (why yes that was alliteration!), then no one can claim to have this trait. After all I'm sure there are plenty of poor people that would like to have more possessions and a more comfortable life; does that make them materialistic? As long as you don't let materialism consume your way of life, you can't blame yourself for indulging yourself every once in a while.
SOAPBOX OVER!
