Today is black friday and the scene at the mall was quite sickening--I really should have added black friday to my listed of things I find overrated. I didnt go shopping because its pure madness at the stores/malls --but its really quite irritating that Americans are the way they are. We are always thinking that we need more of everything. We need more shoes,bags,jeans,jewelry,tops,ipods,lipgloss,food etc. but in reality we have more than enough. We have a plethora of fastfood resturants which is a result of our obesity problem, and those same fastfood resturants throw away pounds of food each day when there are people starving right outside!!This country is the most wasteful on this earth, I hate to sound like I hate my "country" but I mean c'mon!! Americans only think about themselves, they only know their 'culture' ( and Idk if fastfood,pop music,sex ,and bbqs is culture but whatever!) It makes me go maddd when I see people, in this country begging for food or money and people roll up their windows and act as if they dont have anything to offer. I know some of these people are on drugs, but I also know that most of them are retired vets who are out on the streets because their so called country doesnt give a damn about them.
I'm sick of the whole Christmas thing and how its presented in this country.Looking in on it from a commercialized POV Its really just a holiday where u put up some pine tree, stick some lights on it,tell ur kids to put out stale cookies for good ol st.nick and usher them off to bed, go out on black friday and buy as many presents for whom ever and stick them under the tree. Your the worst parent ever if ur teenage daughter doesnt get the $700 Jimmy Choos shes been asking for for months...and may God punish ur head if u dont get the barbie dreamhouse, and other nonsense toys that ur kids are asking for....this Christmas, I dont want anything, I dont want anything to do with Christmas. Christmas should celebrate Christ, it should be a time to reflect with family and enjoy their company ( with food of course!) Instead people teach their kids to buy buy buy buy buy! They teach them to never be satisfied with what they have, they teach them that what they have isnt enough so they need more and more, and thats sad.
I don't even know why it's called black friday? oh well, everything is so commercialized in this country. But like you said, it's their culture. I know I can't do some of those things sha...
ReplyDeleteCommercial sells...enough said.
ReplyDeleteSad but life goes on.
Didnt even know there was something like black Friday. the bible teaches to be content with what we have, i guess it was referring to people with the buying buying buying habit
ReplyDeletei share in ur sentiments. its very sad that a lil child on the streets has nothing while some odas just don\t care. its simply pathetic.
