world of appearances

In a world where getting more and more is what matters most regardless of the cost of health, abandoning the family or not even having time to have breakfast or share quietly or have a personal space where we can meditate, buildings are becoming more expensive because they make us believe that we need large and luxurious spaces because that is supposedly the most comfortable, how many people live in beautiful houses and places and if they want to meet or greet their neighbor when they pass each other, on the contrary, they bow their heads to avoid them how many people are in debt and pawned in mortgages to the bank because not even one house was enough for them and they have several just to pretend something they are not how many people in our society cannot retire because the debts have trapped them believing that more is better.

Today millions of people run around the world seeking to have and buying things to feel full and happy, they last all their lives or most of it paying for material things and the more they have the more they are enslaved and the less time they enjoy, but we call that success, tranquility and balance in a world that invites the complication of housing, clothing, relationships, work and there is no time for oneself and when a human being does not know what is important, he usually experiences problems, stumbles and confusion when walking on confusing paths that divert him from our purpose. First, it is our calmness, the rest can wait.

But what is living to do what others do to do what the media says or what advertising incites is that living is to buy what is fashionable I wonder if that is the art of living because that is what many pursue and long for we live in a world of careers and never appreciate the beautiful things that surround us desires blind us and make us unhappy is that we are in jobs we hate just to buy the things we want, but in reality we do not need we believe in everything in the offers of soap cleans everything and vitamins that lengthen our life we are in the economy of excess and waste with which we pollute rivers seas forests and mountains we are enslaved they rob us of true life because some live prisoners of necessity and others live prisoners of fear and of what they will say.
