I was just setting here and reading a story about Nike. Now in Florida people are rioting to get their hands on a pair of $220.00 pair of shoes. Some people are trying to trade cars and some people are even willing to pay upwards $2400.00 a pair. All of this will lead to the downfall of our society. Now you might be asking yourself "what does he mean by that?". Well what I mean is all you here is no jobs no money no food we need help from the government and then you see scenes like that. It is all about social status, that's all. That's it.
When you look around you, you will see the decadence of this country. People buying objects to fill their own insecurities. But does it fill those insecurities? Yes maybe for the moment. That is until you have to pay for all of the opulence you have to have to impress your friends, while on the other hand judging people on their life styles or what they do or do not have. Now I do not have a religious preference, but does the Bible say live a simple life? I believe it does. I also believe it states do not judge others. And I think I read that Jesus had gotten very angry about people worshiping money. Now weather you choose to live by the words of the Bible or of God, well that's for you to decide. But you should take a long look at your life, practice what you preach. You should love people for who they are not what they own. Get to know them before you pass judgement you just might be surprised.
Now I know that having nice things are a plus but that does not mean that you judge others or push them to do the same, because it makes you feel better about your decisions. I have lived all over the world and have see a great deal in my life, but I believe we have come full circle in our history as humans. Instead of living together and getting along we spend so much money separating ourselves from one another. We stopped relying on each other, And the social groups we associate ourselves with will make a grave mistake shutting out everyone else. Because somewhere down the line those very people could be the ones that will help save your life.
Arrogance and decadence begot the downfall of Rome and it will soon bring down America, if we do not change the way we treat each other.
