were always wanting more. were setting ourseves up for weakness, like we need the nexgeneration of the latest gizmo to fullfill our satisfaction threshhold as i like to call it. we think we re fixing the void and we will be happy once we just have ONE more thing. Sounds reasonable right? to the untrained eye.
Little do many know is that were only RAISING the bar on our satisfactory threshhold meter meaning our minds are becoming desensitized to the satisfaction that the new flavour of the month was giving us and it craves more!; a more intense, unique more satisfying flavour. We are becoming lazier and weaker and dumber. It becomes harder and harder to imagine life before all this advanced technology and standards to keep up with. We are competing against eachother just for the sake of getting the coolest new flavour at the icecream shop. All fine and dandy, until BAZINGA; disaster strikes , You can no longer afford these “novelty” (now almost becessity) privledges or youve lost your limited edition deluxe super gig phobe that your daddy bought you after you begged him. What wil you do now? how will you survive what will you do with your thumbs now…who will you interact electronically with now. You may have to actually confront them in person and carry on a conversation that you dont have the luxeury of replying when you feel like.it or think of something.clever to say.
You become weak once you have only what once gave you fascinating wonder and
the occasional use out of this new flavour when you deserved it. We are getting harder and harder to please and the consumer demands are raging with more wants to essentially life life ‘through a computer.’.
It is an addiction. We no longer live in the moment and enjoy what we have already. We are still texting other people when we “spend time” with friends. We are always focused in what next rather than what the current moment of time could bring.
I myself have always had few wants, material anyway, i was just a confused girl who just wanted to be happy and normal, as i had major anxities, and lonliness and hardships. I am justa remembering how even till this day i dont ask for much so i never got much. i didnt need the extra unnecessary flavours that life artificially brang. is all i wished for was for strength, understanding, hope , friends and what simple genuine joys that life had to offer. I believe i am a stronger, genuine person today at age almost 19 due to my ‘little desires, simple genuine admires’ additude i had. jlooking back, even though this actually induced a youth hardship, i was a very innocent, organic, humble, amazing, genuine child.
People took advantage of my kind, ultrasenitive shy sheltered nature. as i grew up i was a sitting duck…duckling…without his flippers.
Today is the weakest ill ever be again. I am still as generous as ever (over the top) , it is though ive always felt inferior, or undeserving…as thought someone always needs it more than i do. This is not healthy for.my.well being, it will weaken me and i will be a doormat when people learn my.weaknesses.and.my inability to say no.
Today i love who i am and wouldnt want to chance one moment of my life. i will let what will be come and then go with out even a void of regret. I am happy with my unique additudes that iff i instinctively took and hope to continue with. I dont need material ibjects to enrich my life, less is truly more. simplicity offers more room to create your own ending.
Why enhance what is already beautiful.
