The thing that interested me most about this article was how they put everything in perspective for me. The article reveals how materialistic humans are. We are so eager to get our hands on materialistic things as quickly as possible, that we don’t think about if we actually want it or if it will bring us joy. When we buy materialistic items we lose interest in it very quickly, after a month we don’t care about it anymore. However, vacations we talk about for years to come. I found it extremely interesting about the authors styling of writing was that it was very loose. There were no huge words, hard to understand sentences, or literary devices that some people would not be able to understand. This article was made for everyone, and anyone who reads it will clearly be able to understand it’s message and importance. This article made me start thinking about all the material items I have that made me happy at one point, but after a while started disliking. It made me really cherish the concerts, vacations, and food runs I’ve gone on with loved ones. Overall this article has taught me an important life lesson and I will try to start building more meaningful experiences.
