We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.

So there's alot of things I hate about this world... and I know i'm not supposed to complain.... I mean I'm one of the "lucky"
ones. Believe me I'm grateful that my limbs are all in tact, I have a roof over my heads and all my loved ones are safe and happy. But sometimes, just sometimes, I kick back my feet and watch society walk by. I silently observe their conversations, their actions, their every movement.

It is then that I see my disappointment in society. And then it hits me. I'm one of "those" people. One of those that is so caught up in this superficial wealth and it's materialism that i've forgot that the most beautiful things cannot be bought. It's taken me a good 16 years to realise that everything I've ever hated in these people is what's in me. Perhaps seeing unfavourable traits in other people is more obvious because they appear before my very eyes and unlike mine aren't hidden.

Anyways... I shall leave you with a quote from a man who I personally think is a genius, Oscar Wilde. [btw my title quote was also from him =)]

****"We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."****
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act III
