thoughts on materialism

I want to be more at peace with myself,

less envious of others' lives.

I've found that focusing not on what you desire for, what become greedy for,

but on what you have and the long-term satisfactions you will have has brought

me happiness that I haven't felt in a long time.

I think becoming too materialistic is a disease of some sort.

It grips you unknowingly and grows stronger as you continuously indulge in it.

Frankly, it's unhealthy.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the designer pieces I own... but I limit myself.

I know the thought cycle that arises when you fall in too deep.
