Are You Weary Response

It's true that in life we take certain likings to things too soon. Say for example, your father just used the last of his earnings to buy you a cell phone. Not the fanciest of phones, but a cell phone nonetheless. Then, several days later, you decide to go for a walk in the mall. But then you stop, noticing behind the display case a BRAND NEW cellphone, with touch screen action, a ton of minutes, a G.P.S., advanced text methods, and more. At that moment, reality smacks you in the face as you realize you would trade away a phone your parent worked hard to get you over something fancy and expensive.
Such phones that we see in the mall are needful things. In a way, they are entirely useless if your just going to throw it away for a new one. The problem in our country is that we don't appreciate the stuff we already have. I also believe that people are taking a fancy to new things too quickly. Our folks worked hard to get the stuff we have now, so we must learn to treasure the things we got and not waste it away on junk. It's not just old stuff that your parents simply picked randomly. That gift came from the heart and they believed you deserved it. But of they were to see you now, they have no reason to believe you deserve anything... not even love.
So the point I'm trying to make is that we must appreciate what we have now. The future can wait for another day, that's we treasure the present. If you decide to buy something, be sure it's something you are going to treasure for the rest of your life. Otherwise, your not only selling out the people who were giving to you, your selling out on yourself. Think about that.
