In today’s society, there are countless number of changes in our generation that needs to be made. In my opinion, one of the most important change that needs to be made is for our generation to be less-materialistic. Our generation has seem to forgotten the true meaning of life. People are more caught up with earning money than spending their precious time with their loved ones.
Today’s society seems to be in competition with each other. Our generation tends to com pare what materials they have with the materials that another person has. People seem to be working overtime at work to earn money to buy the biggest and best materials.
What are we forgetting when we are so caught up in materialistic items? We leave out our loved ones by accident. People are only on this Earth for a short amount of time. It is a short amount of time when elderly begin to pass on, and the kids that we once knew are grown into adults. While we have been working so hard to make enough money for Christmas presents, birthday gifts, our brand new escalade, our three story mansion, changes have been around us that we are unaware of until its to late. We will not take any of these materials with us when we pass on to the next life. The question is why do we need all these unnecessary materialistic items? There is not a reason for to have all the unnecessary materialistic items.
We will have to decide that our loved ones are more important than the fancy cars or diamond rings. I think our generation needs to take a day at a time to explore new things in life. We should live each day like you were dying. Be sure to take a hike, sit around the table playing board games, explore nature. Overall, just thank God that you have one more day to spend with your loved ones.
