Desires are fuel to achievement. Over the years i have observed there is no end of desires. You can have the whole world and still want more.Today was "Black Friday", a day dedicated to consumerism. Fashion , Electronics ,Utility items everything was on a grand sale. So I also went out and became a viewer of this shopping bonanza.
Though i have never been too good with money. I have been through the times when i would buy a pair of silver stiletos just because they were cute , ignoring the fact that i had another three pairs already. I have seen the times when i had so many clothes that i would shop and forget about it and not have the time to wear them for more than an year.I have been a shopaholic. I have had everything in abundance. And i dont know how today i am feeling like that i should accept that i have been a little spoilt..may be not just a little.
So if you are the small kid , who is always pampered you get an illusion you can have everything you wish. Luckily i get everything i wish, but it is hard to organize . So this black friday i didnt buy anything . When i dont need something, what is the point in buying it just because it is on sale. And honestly i have more stuff than i need. I have everything i want. I wonder when i gained this insight.
It is very amusing to see materialistic people. It is so eaay for them to be happy.
Most of the people who come to america get attracted to the scintillating capitalist strategies. And irony of my life is the biggest lesson i have learnt here is you dont need things to be happy. Because things that matter in life are not things at all.
