Price tags

Seems lately that everything has a price... And we all seem to categorize things according to it...
Costs more? It's worth more...
...
Yeah... Right... And I'm just one of the morons to fall into that trap...

"Jessie J - Price Tag"



We are stuck in a world of consumerism where we (most of us) are hypnotized into thinking that you need this and that...
And society isn't doing t good job in this ether... They go along with it, nearly enforcing it...
...
You find yourself being marginalized for simply refusing to cope in with the rest...
...
We live in a world where the week willed get fooled into following someone else's laws... One example is smoking... At first you do it to fit in, not to marginalized... After some time spent smoking you are unable to quit even tho you see the error of your ways... You realize what a stupid and irrational decision it was...
...
And another very good example is the problem regarding alcohol... Seemingly the young generation has formed a mentality that seems to imply that having fun can only happen after getting drunk...
...
But these are but few of the many problems...
Clothing is another...
We seem to also be unable to go for comfort and simplicity...
If people would be able to wear a simple pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt there would be no need for fashion... The higher the price the bigger the sucker...
Just beacuse it is made by D&G or DC or whatever crappy company with a name that stands out dose not make it better than my no name jeans and my no name mp3 player...
...
How many people can say that they can go into a club with friends and just sit at a table with them without consuming anything? I, for one, can.
How many of you refused to go into a club just beacuse you did not have any money, thus being unable to purchase any merchandise in the club/pub? Not me, or if i did it was an excuse... Sorry guys...
How many of you chose simplicity in the disadvantage of extravaganza? I certainly did...
...
Soon we will find ourselves placing a price tag on a soul...
...
Seems we place more accent on price than quality, truth or real values...
...
Seems we forgot to smile and enjoy simplicity...
...
Seems we cover ourselves in extravaganza so much that we can't even have a good time...
...
Seems one car is not enough...
...
Seems clothes make people...
...
...
...
Sad... Honestly and truthfully sad...

But luckily there are still the, so called outsiders, who refuse to give in to society...

  1. you are so right...
    i mean...
    people from today don't know what is like to look at the sky and admire the clouds insted they look at the "very beautiful" t-shirt with a price as big as china...
    and i am sure that kind of t-shirt you can find with a lower price...even if is not made by d&g or some other s**t....
    and yes...
    by the smoking and drinking part you are also right...
    and for an hour i tought and yes this is one of the things that i regret that i started smoking ...and it's hard to finish...
    but i will try...
