Stop.Read.Think

Everyone you meet always asks if you have a

career, are married or own a house; as if life was

some kind of grocery list. But nobody ever asks

if you are happy..??.. #happiness #materialitic #artificially #hardfact #bittertruth

you are so right! It's always about materialistic things. Where you are in life, what car you drive, where your kids go to college, or how many vacation's you take. It's never about you as an individual. It's so sad that we don't take the time to actually listen, really listen to people. I agree 💯.
