salam brothers and sisters,

In my own opinion, people are becoming more materialistic because of the hedonistic twenty-first civilization. It is a cycle. They indulge in pleasures and at the end of the day, some of them start to question the "meaning of life" which most probably due to emptiness or a relationship meltdown. However, even hitting this point of existentialism, majority do not bother to find out why there is even a universe at the first place. Hedonists simply return back to their pleasures like hanging out in shopping malls, walking blindly in the crowd, hanging out with friends and so on. and yeah, since technology is advanced today, hedonists who had hit the point of existentialism would turn to music, for an example, to temporary relief the "darkness" they are facing. It is simply an illusion which would be shattered when they hit existentialism again. People are so blind, they can't realize what they are doing actually.That's the fact of world nowadays...;(

there are many type of people in this dunya.. metarialistic is one of them. they are really stingy and greedy. the story is, A is really brilliant student in one of our local college. he is come from poor family. after he graduated. he was offered to work at a national bank as a security. 10 years after, he was caught in 100 million dollar robbery. it is because he is lack of religious guidance since his chilhood.

so, what we can conclude from the story, the metarialistic people is willing to do anything to get what them want even it is taking so long.
