5 Reasons why materialism is bad for you!

Today’s generation is furnishing their minds with materialistic aspects towards life. This could be due to the growth in new media and the simultaneous growth of the advertising industry. The youth of today is not as hard working as the youth of the previous generation. Hard work has become a subjective matter now and has varying definitions among people of today.  This takes a toll on the work ethics that one must and must be otherwise equipped with. Materialism results in a lower desire to work hard and grind.

 

YOU STRUGGLE WITH YOUR HAPPINESS

What materialism does is that it never allows you to be a happy person even if you have ‘enough’ to be one. It ends you up with disgust as you keep comparing your life with others. The urge to financially conquer your accomplishments hampers your mental and spiritual well-being. It always keeps you perpetually unsatisfied and you unknowingly live in a cycle where you gain and disdain at the same time.

Materialism should never be your cup of tea.  The world it takes you in can cause irrecoverable moral damages and hence, you must focus on the important things in life which is the love and affection to fellow human beings. Spending time with your loved ones should be on the top priority rather than shopping and buying home décor. Home becomes home because of the people residing in it and not because of the decorative items you set in. Materialism makes you forget the grammar of staying together and that instead should be your biggest fear!
