Artificial Happiness

Closer and closer into the holiday spirit... Deeper into the never ending vicious spiral!!!

Traffic, inhanced religious traditions, sleep in, getting intoxicated, purchasing and receiving gifts, family outings and the sacred, the holy- Santa Claus! To each his own.. Where do YOU stand in all this?

What I love about christmas is that, suddenly our streets are all lightened up, we have electricity, we are one step closer to being an official country, suddenly we don't have to run over an old guy on the street because we couldn't see him(makes more sense to me since i'm a girl).
Or maybe we just don't run over an old guy because there is too much traffic we can't go over 10km/h!!!!

Here comes Christmas, here comes this time of the year when you can actually buy happiness... Well you think it's happiness, but in fact it is just a temporary euphoria. So enjoy it while it lasts because before you know it, reality is going to strike back in and hits you in the face; Your new cellphone is only so awesome until you take two seconds from your precious life to notice that kid on the street freezing to death while you're enjoying the snow.

Socrates once said: "Contentment is natural wealth; luxury, artificial poverty."

Merry Christmas.
