Appreciating Life

As Humans it seems we are very greedy creatures, in majority we take everything we can, aspire to conquer the rest of our race and will do anything to grasp it.

It also seems a rarity to think of how lucky we are… to be here on earth, to be who we are and have what we have… and to live in such a wondrous place.

I guess daily life can take hold – vision can be blurred by the taxi cabs, crumbling architecture and gum littered streets - Enough to mask the beauty of reality and cloud the soft rolling hills and whisper of sunlight in the backs of our minds. This makes me feel ignorant.

Humans are stupid, me included.

I find myself compelled by the need for “those shoes on asos.com”. Why? I do not understand why I feel that fashion is so important to me, all I know is that it simply IS. Perhaps I can blame the media or society – if not myself.

I am quite frustrated that this is the driving factor of my life and like defined in the reading task I am obsessed with the new and the mass of what is available in life. What a way to live.

Perhaps if those ASOS shoes were of only a handful of styles of shoe available in the entire world, would I feel different about them?

Would I desire them more or less?

Would I appreciate them more?

Would I begin to see the more important things in life?

And would my life accept the more important things?...
