Slaves to ourselves
Our human nature makes us have needs and wants.
Although we go too far with it and end up wanting more than we need.
These wants and desires create discomfort in the present times.
Depending on the wants and needs you have chosen depend on how worth it is to suffer to obtain in.
Wanting to fit in, having that Mercedes, a new bag. All of these wants make you discontent with now even though you created the concept as to why you should have these things in your own mind.
At the end of the day do what you want, just don't get sad over things that don't truly matter.
