I always wondered how people wrote so much stuff in newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc...I never could see myself writing a lengthy article about something specific...i always was confused...what do i write about...where do i start..how do i end...!!..and the confusion goes on!!!!!
Loving material things vs being Materialistic!!
Recently I had this argument with one of my colleague, who said that I tended to sound materialistic.!!..I was shocked...coz..anyone who knew me well enough would definitely deny that I was materialistic.....then I asked my colleague of what my colleague's definition of a 'materialistic' person was. My colleague then said that, I once mentioned that I dream to own a porsche one day...visit venice......etc.....I was excited when I bought a new phone...when I got my new laptop....n I get super excited about small things such as a good dish...a good movie etc etc.......all these, as per my colleague, made me materialistic...!!!..... Thank god!!..I thought!!....coz, then I knew that I just loved material things and was not 'materialistic' as the term is used widely.... Being materialistic in my opinion, is when one gives more value to the material/immaterial things than human relationships... show me one person who doesnt love material or immaterial 'things'.......
