Answer 1

You are my market and I am the markateer. This is what we markateers go to school for. To confuse the sheeple.

Answer 2

Hmm. Sheeple? When you say slaves to fashion, no matter what you wear your always going to fit into some pre-named category. If you were old clothes it's 'vintage' etc. Everything is labelled these days. So maybe it's not that were sheeples but labellers. We live in a superficial world.

Answer 3

Many people want to be popular, hip. Be friends with the IN CROWD. Be better than most (so they think)They want the best of everything, and to look good only to IMPRESS others. But little do they know is that all those possessions is not important. It's whats in your heart, how you treat others, and the type of life you live. All the beautiful, expensive clothes, money, cars etc are just materialistic, they won't last and if that's what people need, in the end they will have NOTHING, ZILCH.

What a remarkable position to be in, unhappy about the circumstances. that's a existence replacing risk, plan it properly, dont rush into some thing. evaluate suitable right here pay off your debt. be particular you've a moist day funds fund, about 3 months pay is about suitable, to cove those events even as the washer supplies up and how am I ever going the replace it. yet positioned the money again into the fund. procuring a house or flat to stay in is a house, no longer an funding. procuring a flat to employ out is an funding, exercising consultation the hazards, yet prices might want to correctly be depressed. starting up a organisation is risky - locate out the failure cost earlier you commence. exercising consultation the money flow for first 3 to 5 years or maybe as it may pay you a salary. maximum agencies fail because of money flow, no longer because they don't seem worthwhile (imagine of Woolies very last twelve months).

Answer 5

Because human beings take a while to discover who we are. Most of us fall into this when we don't know who we are, and value ourselves for what we have or what we do, or for what others think about us. Once we discover that we ARE there's no need to fill empty spaces with material things any more. But this takes time and it is all part of the journey... no judgement on being on the road.

Answer 6

I hear what your sayin'... I think that most people in order for them to feel completely comfortable with themselves they need to fit in with a certain group be it rock, hip-hop, pop, etc.... In order for you to be "Cool" you have to have what everyone else wants or what you think they want because you want it. Most people don't even know they do this and some live this life and become slave to trends and fashions. Your friend has a fast computer you gotta go out and get the computer faster then that.. .It all boils down to who has the best and who is comfortable with themselves... Some people do it for hobbies and some people sit and watch people do like yourself and I....

Answer 8

People are shallow, this going along with the crowd mentality starts in childhood and continues til teenage years but by adulthood you are supposed to have grown out of it, but obviously not in many cases. Plus the marketing industry is doing its best to lower our self esteem telling us we need certain products to fit in. I.e. you smell, you're too fat, thin, stupid etc, buy this buy this!!!!!
