Materialism

I was thinking the other day about material objects. If you look all around your neighborhood, you will see fancy cars and people with nice clothing, but are material objects really necessary? Back in the day, people did not have cars, computers, or clothing and those people loved without them. I would like to pose this experiment to not use any technology and to just live a very simple lifestyle because I think that all of those materialistic objects clutter life to what is most important, people. I have learned that money is not important and not worth fighting over. My family, extended family, and friends are most important. Our culture has become a consumer culture, meaning that the objects we buy and consume are more important than the people in our lives. Try for just one day to live a simple life without clutter and see what is important in life, your Coach purse or your family. Who every said that the things we buy define us. Well the things we buy do define us.
