Over history in life things change. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. When we as people were young we always try to out do others, family, and friends. Some of us when we were kids said I have a bike, one of our friends woulds say well I have a BMX bike. We always hated it that someone out did us. What we were so proud of someone always had to knock it down. Our parents always here us complain about so and so has this or they bashed on what I have. They always say just wait they will grow up and everyone moves on. But will that happen?
Even when we get older does it actually stop? I don't think it will ever stop even how old we get. Perfect example, cell phones some parents got one a lot did not. When cell phones were so big and expensive for back then. But they still are expensive in certain ways. But we always rub it in other people faces that we got one you did not. But as the years its rare to know someone who doesn't have one. So we think of other things to out do other people. Like we turn 16 we get a car and some don't. Then when we turn 18 and go off to college. Some are like I got into Harvard. Others say I got into Harvard but I cant afford to go.
It doesn't stop there. We get married, we have kids, we buy our first home. We show off what we have and now at this point we don't realize it hurts others for not having what we have. We now see that our kids are going through what happen to us.
Why didn't we stop showing things off when we know we want people to get jealous. We see our next generation doing it but we cant get upset cause they learned from us. So where is the after if things always repeat itself.
