Make haste slowly

This thought crossed my mind the other day. Clothes, make-up, jewelry, tattoos; all just window dressing. They don’t change what’s behind the glass. It seems to me that some people tend to hide behind how they present themselves, rather than take it for what it should be. I know there are a lot of people that do it and, it’s probably something that wont be changing anytime soon; sure a reflection of consumerism though. People thing that the new shiny deal they bought into their life will make it better, but it wont in any meaningful way. Even many people who say they reject consumerism still define their lives with consumeristic dendancies. Those people tend to show off in other ways such as tattoos or the like with money piled into artwork on their skin, rather than clothes. Not saying your’s truely is an exception, but at least my excuses aren’t masked like some and instead I’ve tied all my resources into a college — the ultimate consumer buy in. Why does anyone go to school? To make the big bucks so they can buy more shit they don’t need and possibly get that higher status to be more important. Must just be part of us.
