I, as I am sat on this train have become befuddled by the aspect of money and how much it truly overwhelms our lives. In front of me there is a tall male with a slim figure dressed in a tailored suit with elbow patches, brown shoes. Quite quirky really, but he is completely surrounded by top of the range electronics. A smart book with an excel page open, his mobile attached to his hand like it has been magnetically drawn to it replying to emails and a distant look which causally gazes from one screen to another..
Yet behind him is a young male presumably in his teens quietly dozing away. With no technology around him, nor labelled clothes. Just a cream knitted jumper, blue tatty jeans and he looked lovely!
Innocence embodied but with an army backpack..
But imagine if there was no currency which dictated our society...
Imagine if everyone could live equally and gain the items that they wanted?
I'm not talking about communism, etc and nor am I encouraging that people should gain the same rewards as someone who works twice as hard as another it's just food for thought really!
Capitalism completely overthrows our lives and we are surrounded by commercialism... Branded clothing, makeup etc. We post pictures on social media of our favourite new objects and brag to others about them...
Money is literally surrounding us and we somehow can not escape it. Bizzarre really. We all crave more and more money. But when we finally have it we waste it on stupid items and get bored of the purchases..
It is true the saying that ... We're just hungry or bored!
