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...!!!.....

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'.......

What's in a name??

It's all about trust honey!!!

-
I read this in a book today....."if there is no trust there is no relationship" I agree, but sometimes it makes me think..how is trust built...you start by saying I trust and then actually internalize it, or take time for building the trust that can never waver....someone once said..either we trust or we dont..is that possible?...to take such an extreme position? ....I thought I trusted someone 99% and someone at 20% level... I may not distrust too..but can there be anything in between?....strange....but then, is trust built? or does it just happen?....like few say love happens....for me love is not an instant feeling...it grows..so should trust be like that?...grow overtime?.....donno....too many conflicting thoughts, too less a time to analyze....so why think n waste time:).....
