Things of the WORLD
Lord strike me down if I ever get so materialistic as to always talking about what kind of car I drive and how much it costs when I'm older. I overheard a bunch of people at work talking about Mercedez SLK's and BMW 325's and all that stuff. Goodness...I'm so SICK of hearing how people measure themselves up to one another by how much $$$ the make at work, or how much $$$ their car cost...or whatever. And I'm not stupid, I know that $$$ makes the world go 'round, and if I don't have ANY at all, then I won't survive...but I won't go so far as to let it define who I am, and I'm not going to treat it as if it were my God, because it's not. I know it sounds so preachy to say that money is a root of evil, but open your eyes....it IS. It sucks us into this mindset that we need to make top $$$ to be happy and live the good life. That to be happy is to drive the latest rage in automobile. We don't take this $$$ with us into the next life...And I sincerely believe that deep down in my heart, to be happy is to love those people who have come into your life and to know that you are doing your best, regardless of which rung of the financial ladder you're on...listen to me...sheesh...
