A random observation

Can someone please explain to me where the hell this world is going to?!

I mean, everyone is so obsessed with money and power and (especially here in Croatia) physical appearance! It's like you're nothing if you're not quasi attractive, with loads of money you (of course) DIDN'T earn yourself (or didn't earn it by an honest day's work), or if you don't drive the latest model of BMW or Mercedes... And the chiks?! Oh my God, the chicks!!! They would sell their soul for a ride or two with the afore mentioned human specimens and the only thing their brains seem to be capable of grasping is the price tag on the clothes they wear and, particularly, on the clothes other chicks (perceived rivals) wear. It's all about who is wearing what, what kind of car they're driving, how much money they spend when they go out and how many other quasi celebrities they know and hang out with... Totally lame!

Any other concept or conversation is completely wasted on these people... Try explaining to these people that you work overtime because you find satisfaction in getting the work done on time and seeing it as a great opportunity to learn new things, or, better yet, try explaining them that you prefer driving your 15 year-old car and live in a modest house or appartment and being able to look yourself in the mirror when you wake up in the morning to having loads of money you made through suspicious dealings with known criminals. Good luck in having a conversation of this sort with people like these.

For my part, I am quite happy to be surrounded by people who care more about the quality of their emotional life and interpersonal relationships with their families and friends, than the material possesions that can never, ever, replace the warmth of a gentle human touch or a kind word that makes you feel better even in a seemingly hopeless situation.

So, my dear readers, take your pick: do you prefer to pile up worldly goods that will never do you any good, or will you take the time to create something that lasts over time and distance and makes you feel like you have a home, wherever you go???

I've made my choice, now it's up to you! ;)
