Or maybe all people are materialistic one way or another but some more and some less. We each have our needs and wants and as long as we don't cause pain and suffering to another in our quest to achieving our desires, and as long as our wants do not break any laws and cause us to commit crimes, then it certainly isn't an evil kind of materialism!

And yes one should always be aware of those around them. Greed, covetousness, stinginess, and being careless of the sufferings of others is certainly a terrible way to live. Let not our love for all things precious stand in our way of being good human beings.

It's true, it's totally true.

Because this is the age of urban greed. we have become self centered inconsiderate, cold beings uncaring aliens .

life has been stripped of all morals and true purposes . now days it's all about the money we have lost our values. were a dying generation.

this is Andalusia right before it went down.

We are being trained to be this way,it is constantly reinforced that possessions make you happy everywhere you look whether it be TV, print, roadside signs, ads on internet pages etc. It is in our schools where sports teams are sponsored by Pepsi or Coke. It is literally everywhere. If you constantly push possessions, then you get people who want possessions.

I buy what I want if I can afford it. Why not?

people are more and more unhappy and the more spirituality is lost from their lives, the more they seek to replace it with belongings

It's a human-nature actually. Nevertheless, don't buy stuff beyond your budget or else, you mIght be experiencing shortage. Shortage is eQual to lack of fund which leads you to use your CC and CC means interest which leads you to obtain more LOANS and so on and so forth. :(
