One of the subjects that has always fascinated me is the fact of how we are living our lives today. I believe that humans are a very interesting subject. Our eccentric behaviour always has intrigued me. A recent incident that I experienced made me realise that we have become extremely materialistic. Materialism has gained the power to dictate our behaviour and also our attitude towards life. We have stopped respecting who we truly are. We have stopped believing that we have the power to change the situation around us. We have become slaves to material love, and we let the objects build an image of who we are. Knowingly or unknowingly, we are constantly taking the'materialistic path’ to build an image of ourselves to portray what we aspire to be, even though the potential lies within us to be who we want to be. I believe in this: that beyond all these silly consumer trinkets that build an outer artificial aura of who we are, deep within us lies all the qualities that can improve or solve all the difficulties that we face in our lives. All we need to do is believe in the magic within us.
