We are living in a time when our ambitions are higher than ever before, and we have so many options to choose from. The Industrial Revolution and technological advancements have created a society where we have access to an abundance of things we've created. But then we need and we want. We take pride in our material possessions, and sometimes, inner value and morality take a backseat. Some believe that with the fiercely high competition, it's hard to achieve success. And with a limited portion of resources and money, billions of people are fighting hard to gain a piece of the pie. So we feel somewhat special when we achieve material gain. Others envy us for our luxurious cars, large houses, and hefty bank balances. Gone are the days when people valued someone's kindness and morality more than their possessions. With the declining shift towards our material possessions, we are no longer satisfied with just a few things. Our needs and expectations now seem to be boundless. And no doubt, our modern society is often called materialistic.
