About This Quote
We are all driven by materialism. We are obsessed with success, money and trying to impress people who will never be impressed. We love to buy the latest gadgets and play the newest games. Some of us even buy houses that we can’t afford because we think that if we have them, other people will want to be seen with us.
But as this quote says, “we’re all driven by materialism.” I agree with this quote. Although I say it is not a good thing, I do not think it is a bad thing, either. I think it is a good thing to have the things you want, but you should not want them for your own sake.
You should want them because you truly value what they mean to others. When you have the things you want, you should also realize they don’t satisfy your heart so you try to share what you have with others. This quote teaches me that people should reach their goals but they must give back to others as well.
