So just recently, I was scrolled one of popular social media. It's my first time spent my time there, because so many peoples recommendation me about it.
Then, ten minutes earlier I like the contents there (tips, hacks, tricks, etc). However, after a long time and getting down, there are appear lots of content which contains elements of showing off wealth or luxury house tour or spending millions for shopping, showing off money, or branded things. I don't blame them at all, but I just think it's not really a good idea.
Getting here, so many people people can have evil thoughts tempted to do things that are not right because of it. Then not a few who like the videos, are small children who have the possibility of being unstable and this can have a bad impact. Not to mention, most of the people who might be jealous of the lives of those people, and end up doing bad to look rich too. It's all for the sake of trend or just following them lifestyle, despite in fact they are different.
That's what's on my mind right now, I don't really have any idea about it. What do you guys think?

My thoughts about this topic are people who pursue being rich or being popular are having a problem with themselves. They don't know who they are, they have no identity. The average human is still struggling with identity. That's why most of them are other people. For example, they wear branded stuff. They want to be like them ( Louis Vuitton-this are people’s names). The reason behind this, they need to put on other people's identity to feel important. Some of them have lost their true self that's why they seek validation from others.

Well, there are people who are really like that. Showing off what they have without thinking of something that might happen to them. For them it is really nothing but to others it is something not right. Anyways, I just don`t mind people like that. They can do what they want to do in their life.

In a favorite poem I like very much, there is an advice that goes - 'Avoid loud and aggressive people, they are vexations to the spirit.'
Good thing you noticed the boasting. That falls under capital sin called Pride. Plus another capital sin called Envy.
Get out of that site. Remember, simplicity renders the most joy.

You may be rich but showing off your wealth is not acceptable. It is a kind of conceit. We should teach our children not to follow such people and stay away from such people.

I don't like to compete, it's none of my business. I just like to be creative of my own life and be happy with what I have. I'm a simple person who likes simple lifestyle.
