Material World

It seems most of western society is living in such comfort that any minor disturbances to said comfort leave us in disarray. I must say (with my head hung low in shame) that I am often guilty of these occurrences. I truly believe that is because of our lifestyles based on comfort that even the most minor of inconveniences (a red light on the way to work, a fast food order that takes too long, a misunderstood comment, etc.) sends our blood pressure rising. See next time what easily upsets you. Is it something frivolous or does it hold major weight in the grand scheme of life? We, my friends, are living in a material, self-absorbed world. Wish I wasn't so sucked into it myself...
