We live life to have nice things we work to have nice things then I ask myself is life more about other things and of course I draw an conclusion and it does not matter what you have meaning materialism its about adventuring and being one in one with the earth.

I totally agree! The thing is, media is taking over the world and people now see things as having worthless junk as being important. Looking into the life of celebrities, the names that they wear and things that they own. They look up to these people who live these lives and not realize what they really have in their own little world. Its sad i know.

Clearly- chasing material things is not the secret to happiness.
We have more 'stuff' now than at any time in human history. We are also less happy than we were 50 years ago.

I dont think life is about being one in one with the earth. I think life is more important than that.
I think life on earth is a preparation for Afterlife in that those who choose Jesus Christ to have eternal life, will have to go through a learning process in order to be refined to the standard that God wants us to be.

The person that measures his/her success in life by the material things accumulated is an unhappy person.
They are also a person that has failed at life because they never found the true meaning of happiness.

The Bible says that life is more than what one possesses.
We are to set our affections on things above, not on things of the earth.
But you are SO right...but what can you expect from a market-driven economy? Everywhere you look there is an ad.

You need to do what you need to do.
If "nice things" are what you want, if they make you happy then go get them.
If being miserable, having nothing and giving that away makes you happy then do that.
Bottom line; miserable or happy, when you die you are just dead. As Porky Pig would say, "that's all folks".

not at all it may seem everything in this life but where our treasure is there our heart should be and we must all set our mind on the things above and must not get lost in the things of this world because it'd one day end for us

Yes... having nice things is very.. well... nice. But the quality of life experience means more.
