But craving for it, swearing by it is a result of materialism. One has to be aware of it and draw clear lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media is conditioning us to believe us that everything we own is worthless and that we must buy the newer better things out there. \u00a0We crave to buy happiness through long vacations, fancy cars, houses and what not. All of this requires money, so we work like donkeys and go mad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We fall for the never ending loop of work, earn, buy and repeat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every week there is a launch of a phone or car or brand of clothing. Buying has become synonymous to happiness, SALE offers being run 365 days. Advertisements tell us: &#8220;More is good&#8221;, &#8220;New will make you superhuman&#8221;, \u201cHurry up, buy now\u201d and a lot more hidden agendas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What will happen to all the money if we die in a road accident? We spend our present sucking at work, dreaming of a \u00a0future which was never assured to us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flaws in barter system introduced currency. Our forefathers \u00a0might not have imagined that future humans will run after it like monkeys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are so caught up in work that we don&#8217;t have even have time to spend with our kids. We have to leave them at the mercy of our maids, while we go and work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are producing more, buying more and wasting more. West suffers from health issues due to overeating whereas many other nations are suffering from poverty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2890\" src=\"http:\/\/atuljha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ng_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atuljha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ng_2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/atuljha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ng_2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/atuljha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ng_2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/atuljha.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/ng_2-260x260.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study well, Get a good job, Earn well, Settle.
