Showing off over the limit

Have you noticed how people try so hard to possess impressive material things? It is worry some to see someone who came from a very poor background, trying to hide it with some sorts of possessions such as smart phones, Brazilians or branded clothes.

I understand your background does not defines you, but it is needed to keep you remembering where you come from for you to know where you are heading.Why torturing yourself to have impressive materials, while you know for sure, that its not on gun point to own such things.

Nowadays youth live their lives as if they are in some sorts of competitions, is there  a reward which I am not aware of in this kind of lifestyle? You are not a business person and you have 2,3 phones, for what good reason do you use it for?, are you now the new telecommunications company? Some of them rush to buy cars for showing off purposes; you are not in some sorts of debates that you can not afford a car, all what is needed is own what you need when its needed not for impression.

Picture :just for illustration, content with what you have

 They are there showing off while some of them don't even own  a nail cut. Who are you impressing with material things while you are growing nails like a crow forgetting those small  things that help you look like some one with mind. Its those small things  which matters to make you who you are and useful in the society, not a bunch of phones, a bunch of branded shoes/clothes or a bunch of Brazilians.
