The Slavery of Materialism

And old peoples brains are shrinking.

A lot of young people are very socially stunted right now. Surely the OP has noticed this as a teacher. .....

Not really.

I find it disheartening to see so many young people who are nowhere near what would be considered "well off" so blatantly attempting to define their self worth through material goods. Usually it's gold jewelry, technology, or ridiculously overpriced footwear of some sort, but today I saw a kid who was proudly displaying the sales tags he left on the $200 jeans he was wearing. It looked absolutely ridiculous (and I mocked him for it), but he didn't seem to care. He needed everyone to know how much his pants cost. Absurd and disappointing. Self-imposed slavery is the worst kind, because no war or constitutional amendment can end it if the slave embraces it.

Or AXES?
