I Am a Soul Lost In a Material World

I have felt that way along time. Like I don't fit. All I want is to be happy,for my kids to be happy and have bills paid, food and a happy life. But I swear it seems to be the hardest thing to obtain. It would be easier to just buy things.

Yeah. Sometimes I feel like I can't fully express myself or even be myself because too many people feel like they should act a certain way and will ridicule and spite you if you don't. Sometimes I believe that in this world, the clothes really do make the man (metaphorically speaking).

I agree

that is the price for living in the years between the late i am very fortunate to have lived in a time when money was not the big issue and people where friendlier.mind you materialism has been rearing its ugly head since i first set eyes on a sindy doll back in the fifties.the doll came from america and was bought for a friend if mine.luckily for me i felt no need of this item and was content to spend at least part of my childhood and part of my adulthood with a lovely naive and simple view of the world and its contents.as a child i lived part of the time in devon,where the kids played hop scotch,skipping games,wandered the streets,beaches and parks,copses etc without a care in the world.cheap,fun was available and if we could afford a picnic it was only spam sandwiches and pop.tizer was a big treat.we only neede an old towel and costume for the beach and the local farmer ,for a traet would allow us to look at baby chickens in the spring .school life was tiring and hectic anyhow so we wher ein bed around 7 or 8.dont remember if we had a t.v.didnt watch it much anyhow if we did.any spare time wa sspent plying outdoord,simple things like hide and seek,jacks.throw ball.two ball.juggle the ball etc.chicken was a major treat at christmas.tea was bread and jam.credit cards?thank to the lord they where not an issue.thread bare rooms where interesting,apart from spiders hanging from the ceilings.anyroad,better or worse i am hugely glad i was a kid in that experience of time thank you god.xxx

i wish i'd been born in these times too... what a wonderful, simple life you have had... my soul hurts to live in this disgusting materialistic world. -
I have talked and helped many teenagers and I have to say not only are parents very materialistic, Children as young as 4 5 and 6 are so into it that even in kindergarden (. I know thats spelled wrong) has had parents calling other parents begging them to tell their child of 5, To please stop picking on their child. So Sad. I heard my niece tell her 6 year old "She doesn't know how lucky she is to have a mommy that works so hard to buy her things because Other mommys Just don't try or work at all!" I could not believe what I heard.
