Deterioration

Growing up in a very plastic and materialistic environment I can say that I've seen the world for what it truly is early than most people have. It disappoints me to see how many people in the world are blinded by what truly matters and would give up high moral values for their materialistic desires. One can not truly say they've seen the world for what it truly is until they are on the outside looking in just like how you can't see what your house looks like if you're sitting in your house all day. It sad to see people split from each other and look down upon one another because they do not wear the latest fashions or don't have the coolest gear. People that become obsessed with material possessions and social status can never really find true happiness in life. How can you be happy when you are always worrying about how to be the "in" or "popular" person? Its just sad to see people revolve their lives around such ridiculous things. I'll admit that as a kid growing up I always wanted to be one of those popular kids with the coolest gadgets but when I finally did get them I didn't feel as accomplished or as happy as I thought I would be. I live a fairly simple life and I don't want much to tell you the truth, thats why when people ask me what I want I just say "I don't know" Cause that's the plain truth I don't know what I want because I don't have that many materialistic desires. I mean of course I would like to have a fancy car and a decent house but there's nothing much that I really want cause I find that materials don't make me very happy unless it was from a friend in that case anything would be fine for a present. I wonder if there's a place in this world where material possessions and social status doesn't matter to people. Where people like each other for who they truly are and not what they have. If there is a place like that I'd sure like to find it. The world is deteriorating as people become more and more obsessed in social status and material possessions and its just a real sad sight to see.
