Materialism: Appreciating the Real Worth of Material Objects
Of all the material items I possess, the object which I value the most is undeniably my cell phone. It is my constant companion. It is the first thing I use in the morning to check my email and Facebook page and it is the last thing I turn off at night. With my cell phone, I can contact my friends and family. I can ask for help when faced with an emergency. I can take pictures with it; surf the Internet for information; I can even shop and get directions from my phone. A close 'second' would be my iPod. My entire musical life is contained within this small device: the songs that inspire me; conjure up great memories; get me 'revved up' to work out. It also gives me the ability to discover new songs and instantly download songs I have enjoyed hearing on the radio and want to listen to again and again. My iPod provides the soundtrack of my life. The final material...
But I know if I were to give up my cell phone, this would substantially inhibit the quality of my life. First of all, I have many people who are near and dear to me with whom I cannot imagine not being able to communicate with on daily basis.

Today's consumers act more en masse rather than as individuals, and so, marketing must show them why the "must" have the newest trendy items, or why they have to continue to need those items.

Most individuals fail to appreciate life to the fullest because they concentrate on being remembered as some of the greatest humans who ever lives. This makes it difficult for them to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, considering that they waste most of their time trying to put across ideas that are appealing to the masses. While many did not manage to produce ideas that survived more than them, others
The Lord will lead one to safety always. One can simply believe in something higher to get the meaning of this; it doesn't have to be Jesus. Psalm 127, contrarily is confusing because it states that unless the Lord builds the house, it is built in vain. This seems to be more literal, but I do get the idea. Unless the people building the house are doing it with

Journal Exercise 5.3 B: Responding to Literature 1. The cherry blossoms dint each other in the whisper of wind as I throw them up in the air and prance under them, pretending I am someone else's bride. He comes, charging like a mule with his lips pursed and his hands clutched over the bronze medallion he wears as if it were his heart- his wife- and I'm caught white handed with the smiles and the cherry blossoms, which dint each
