this world is so full of consumption consumption, glamour glamour.
we always want the next new thing. we always want to be "rare" and "special" and have that thing that no one has.
then, when everyone else has it, we want to move on and find something new, something "better"
this is the world we live in. how sad that this is how we have come to define ourselves.
we have moved on from being something to having something (b/c of the Industrial Revolution, haha ... bear with me) and now it has become appearing as something.
this is the state of the society we live in. but can't lose hope just b/c of that.
"Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash, life is still more than girls.
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills,
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age but do
We know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?
She said he said live like no tomorrow
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
to the God who's not short of cash..."
- Switchfoot, "Gone"
lucky for us that...
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever."
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever."
1 Peter 1:24-25
and as my good friends from Starfield sing..
"when all else fades, You remain."
